SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

Filed under: a.d. winans, poetry — ABRAXAS @ 12:57 am

No need to go out to a movie
More than enough action
Right here at home
Sirens wailing in the night
Police helicopter circling high above
Searchlight igniting the sky

Shadow like figure leaps over fence
Like a skilled track hurdler
Dogs barking neighbors leaning
Out the windows
Hugging the night air
Like a skilled lover shivering
In anticipation

Intruder frozen in spotlight
Drops to the ground
Looking like a dead man
Laid out beneath a sea of stars
