• what dwells between the spaces.

    between the walls
    in the dusky silence
    dwells a creature .
    its small soft body scurries to and fro
    what it wants it takes
    especially at night
    when you dream.
    it dashes
    out of that dark corner
    across the floor
    tworads the bait
    you so kindly set out.
    it laughs at you
    to think that you could trap it
    with such a simple device
    stealing away
    it flickers
    back through the shadows
    to its dusty den.
