Moon Glow by Michael Keshigian

Every night a secret message.

Whisper tonight

about the translucent bones

of icicles on the gutter.

Their reflection is a disclosure

of your stalking.

You enter as a burglar

through a window of your choosing

upon the heels of darkness

and leave no fingerprints,

yet cleverly illuminate riddles

between the elusive shadows

you create,

some darker than others,

convoluted images

in the most remote corners

of the room.

The sleepless await an explanation

but your peering eyes slip away 

as the clouds make you blink.

When you steal away,

no one is the wiser.

The sand in your light

eventually blinds into submission

the most suspicious

who, in the morning, awake perplexed

and unaware of your intrusion,

until the icicles drip

in the rising sunlight.
