Kara Vasquez

Nature Unknown

The winds skirt through the trees
Like children chasing one another
In a playful game of tag.
Leaves rattle from their branches
Some falling, almost floating, towards the ground.
The moon howls a gruesome sound
Staring you in the eye
Daring you to move
Stalking its prey
Impatiently
Awaiting
Its kill.

(2015)
