...hush...

it’s the hush before the rush
as you creep on through the blight
concealed both from Devil and God
preparing for the fight
each move that’s made is catlike
not a twig or branch is broken
there’s a signal of impending doom
yet still no word is spoken.

it’s the rush before the hush
with the enemy in sight
and a finger on the killing trigger
as adrenalin screams
‘fight-flight’
then…
-release-
sending
another soul
forever into night.
