The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Hidden in the long grass
ducking the searchlight’s pass
watching from the shadows
secret the spectre goes.

Silent too his passing
a covert trespassing
just a mild suspicion
fleeting apparition.
