"
Those Who Walk the Night "
By
Heather Gribbs
They
walk the night
filling
alleys, pubs and gutters,
listening
for human sounds,
and
ignoring the rains sweet tutters.
Inshrined
in black
their
eyes an errie yellow hue, a face so pale,
the
color of cotton soaked in dew.
Their
silent steps
are
left unaware to those around,
until
it is too late
their
heart to never again pound.
Two
pearly white fangs
quickly
pierce the skin,
just
below the ear,
waiting
for the feast to begin.
One
is enough
to
fill a full-grown,
but
to spare thier life,
their
soul they must loan.
Who
are these silent deadly killers
who
roam in the dead of the night,
and
why must they
cause
mortals such a fright
They
aren't humans
but
far,far worse
they
are our kin,
but
with a deadly curse.
