the shadow of claws


The dark tree grows
The branchs reaching to the house
The shadow moves in the dim light
Of the cloudy moon in the dark sky

The party going in full
The music and vibrations ring
But who pays watching?
In the party mood nobody sees

The laughter whipping up
A few women dancing strip tease
The men clapping hands
Some whistle in the night

The women whip it up
Removing their clothing one by one
The dark branches reaching out
Of claws in the dim light

But who pays watching?
The howling wind suddenly hit
The men and women stop
They see shadows flying around

The women scream
The men run to the house
The dark tree grows
The claw like branches reach the spot

Nothing is known
The heavy downpour hit the ground
The rattling sound of lisping rain
The echo of water and the soft crying

The dirty rainfall seeping through
Mixing with the red of blood
The shadows move along
The howling of the bloody beasts
