Coming Into Mist

One pulse
Again
Again
Overtaken
Again
Again

And still I cannot see the shadows
Flickering by the lamplight
Confusion, as it passes on its way
Damp, the flip of my collar
Soundless, the azure meadow waits

Outlines limb the sky before me
Sentinel, erect and true
I dream of starlight breakfast
Dream the daybreak songs
Broached by morning’s thick fingers

Turn the night, her face in darkness
Blushed the red of ambling spring
Filling up my lungs in longing
Undaunted, I step into daylight
Seeing clearly my breath in the dew

One Pulse
Again
Again

Pulsing and rhythmic read.  It reminds me of The Tell Tale Heart, or something composed by Alfred Hitchcock.  This is a great write.
Enjoyed the read!!
