Whispers, hushed murmuring Dark creatures in the alley shimmering The roar and the growl is the old game Now they saunter amidst, like dogs tame With the moves of chess board And pocket full of hidden swords They are ready to pounce Watch out! Everywhere they bounce Listen to their murky voices As the monster inside you rejoices He sings his old tune And you start dancing like a loon Innocent eyes watch your rave Dig up the earth, seeking a cave To hide till a new dawn rises over the bloodied skies
en attente means ‘awaiting’, in french, according to Google (I hope I have used it correctly). For perspective, this is in reference to the incidents of US capitol & frankly, can be extrapolated to many incidents in my own country (if you catch my drift).

First lines especially well written. Evocative!! Whatever’s in me is definitely not rejoicing over those incidents… love the footnote. Very dramatic piece, dear A. There’s a lot of frightening stuff out there these days… and throughout the past millennia… guess we have to take action toward that new dawn. Easier said than done… hugs to you, and may things get better. ❤︎🌻🔆💛

Thank you, dearest Lia, for your kindest of words! I try so hard these days to not be affected by whatever that is happening out in the society but sometimes it just gets difficult and it finds its outlet.
New dawn, amen to that!
xoxo stay bright, love, 💕💙🥂
