PERIPHERAL VISION ![]() Transient abominations seen through the corner of my eyes, Things only dreamt about in the darkest of nights, Whispered innuendoes, causing me to shudder, Never seen in the daylight, Never thought about, Until, the night draws neigh. The boogy-man, the monsters, the night stalkers... Does giving them a name sanction their existence? Will it allow them to slither out from under the bed, Or open the closet door, Or come in through the window? Masterful, that is what they are......... ....disappearing when the lights come on. Taking pleasure from the abashed look on our faces, When at the time of enlightenment, we find nothing. We know they are there, if only seen through peripheral vision. -Margi C. copyrighted1999 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
