Description
The night creeping descendsChilling and cold, shining dark
While the wind courts the wolves
in the trees outside my window.
I see their footprints in the snow
evidence of murderous romps
The victims' identities merely
a splash of red, a scrap of fur
The eyes have it.
The knowledge of what is to come.
I in my house, they in their woods
hoping for a trespasser.
When the stars are out
and the moon bursts upon the snow
Do not leave the house
for dark things lurk in the false light

Beautiful! I had the privilege once of making a run from my house a hundred yards to a campfire, having left a digital camera in the fold-out chair. As I got there, a coyote howled at me and chased me back into the house.
Excellent writing, very vivid and neatly done!
