In the silent darkness of night The flickering lamp filaments Shivering in loneliness, when The army of creatures creep From the grooves like the shadows Invade the kitchens and dinning tables to fill their empty stomach The needles in black dance from the pores of the sieve, The moustache tweak like brooms of the witch, The soldiers dressed in blackish brown March with the spears forward To retire on the rise of the dawn. #darkness #night #cockroaches
