Darkness Unfolds by Ann Christine Tabaka

It’s Friday night.
The wolves have devoured their
portion. Now it’s time for the
scavengers to come out and feed.

Ignoring a distant storm,
eyes close, ears shut. Pain
forgotten, but not erased.

Beyond all comprehension
night breaks through the
dawn, with only so much
salvation to go around

The smallness of our lives,
filled with such desires and
greed.  Yearning for
Friday night once again.
