why are you frightened?
there is nothing in the dark
eyes wide; breath held
silent, silent
what is it? what do you see?
what do you hear?
fluttering wings startle you
but you startled the bird
in the first place
you're afraid of it,
and it is afraid of you
why are you frightened?
there is nothing in the dark
