Moonlight Wars
By Joseph Kushnir
silver moonlight pours
elongated shadows stretch
forest lands hold life
crickets sing aloud
crisp autumn winds bellow deep
cool light luminates
crested owls pucker hoots
eyes spot midnight hunters
heavy breath sighs deep
swaying trees expose
running bodies pursue prey
salted sweat stings eyes
young couple finds wall
rocky impasse blocks movement
piercing howls given
decayed ripe flesh shuffles
shambling masses corner
ghastly ghouls reach out
zombies stagger on
shaggy smell detected
wolfen arms attack rot
wolfen were beasts
war against walking undead
dinner onslaught begins
glowing eyes leer out
sullen heads swiftly severed
ghasts riposte swipes
wolfen cunning sparks
were wolves regroup pack
green ghouls torn apart
maroon blood pools
moonlight consoles changelings
human tracks spotted
young couple crosses bridge
were wolves halt search
golden light shines above
