in the silence of the night
shadows emerged
dancing and screaming
the bats woke up from their nightmare
the wind got mustier with every blow
the naked devils were all lined up
the cups in their hands smelled of blood
in the middle of the woods
the red flower emerged
all of them gathered around the fire
the only music was the howl of the wolves
the scarred face moon
watched in silence
as an angel passing by
called for the dawn
in the blink of an eye
the moist evil was seen evaporated
the strained sun inhaled the ashes
shadows were gone
and so were the devil
