Fears Under a Moonless Night

Walk this unlit road
where stars blink at your fears

and catch every shift of shadows,
every whisper, quiver,

process them like lab specimen
in your brain.

A vision breaks out:
the next day's headlines, its images-

a body with blade-opened neck,
lit by the new day

but the lamp posts lighting up
appear like lab results reporting negative.
