There Is Trouble in the Gypsy Village [02]

Footsteps approach

from behind,

spines chill

and excite,

search lights

scan the sky,

a dog barks

in the night,

a car starts cold

and chugs away,

a voice calls out,

in fright,

the moon shines

with white light,

a cat's shadow 

stretches across the wall,

fluffy clouds drift,

eclipse the light,

a siren wails

in the distance,

the wind blows,

slow and cool,

the scent of Jasmine

floats by,

you can almost hear

the collective sigh.
