Night flight
------------
In my dreams, I fly at night above the trees
The moonlight highlights the leaves
shimmering in the cradle of the gentle winds
they say the moon controls the tides
I think it controls my blood
the power of luna freely courses
through my body as I soar

During the day, things move slowly,
I move slowly
mostly I sleep
at night I feel alive
everything is quick and sharp
I can feel my energy growing
as dusk begins to fall
awareness heightens
and I begin to glide
drinking in the silent coolness
of glimmering dew
on countryside slopes
dark forms soar and rush
over loam and pine needles
with glittering eyes

the first time I alit
on the roof of elam's farmhouse
was after the decimation of pittman's farm
there was a jar on the porch filled with blood
with holes in the lid
so I would smell it
I took it
returning every full moon to take the jar
this time, I heard a voice saying, "I know what you are."
turned to see elam with the doorway open a crack peering out
to this I say, "you know where I live.
Yet I slumber there peacefully
knowing that you are are afraid
to seek my family vault
even during the day.
I know what -you- are.
And I know the whereabouts of your daughters"
He gently shuts the door

I make myself grow 10 feet tall and step over the hedge
The legends report demons taking a single step over haystacks
sometimes I wonder if I am a demon
It seems that someone would have informed me if I were
I'm sure that is only how the daywalkers saw my ancestors
they believe that their way is the only right way
I believe God makes creatures as they are for a reason
denizens of the sea and jungle are not evil
just because they feed
as their nature and bodies drive them
I cannot help who I am and would not change
if I could
I would always choose the evening countryside
rather than the dirty bright daylight bustle of people and lies
to maintain a place to huddle in at night

I am not sure what I am
But I am certain of what I am not
