RANDOMLY READ POEM: Cycles by Jan Marquart

 

Cycles

 

A ghost with fangs
hides in the shadows
of dark corners
where even the sun won’t dare go
              to capture
                          rupture

                                      strangle

until lightning
slices the ebony night
cracks darkness
trembles mountains
exposes

the open road

for a new beginning.
