Glowing Midnight

There was once a glow in the moonlight.

The blackbird came rushing towards me as if it had never

happened before. I ducked quickly, but the bird came

rushing again towards me. Why is it doing this?

Is it a sign to wake up from a dream?

Should I be worried? Am I in a nightmare?

I pinch myself. Nothing happens.

I pinch myself again.

Nothing happens.
