DARKNESS
In the most obscure way possible,
I set to ringing bells - sneaking into
towers under cover of the night,
and awakening whole villages with
the pillage and plunder of noise.
There were some who rose willingly,
lighting their tapers and rummaging
about - sticking first heads and then
bodies and arms out their doorways
and windows. 'What is all this, and
what is it about?' they'd query
whomever they could - with, of
course, no answers to be forthcoming.
Others cowered, and stayed indoors.
The darkness covered me well.
I was hidden, and no one knew.
