Goblin [Free Verse]

After dark —-
   A city park —-
 There runs the thing
   That comes to life
      By night.
 Caged in stillness 
   Through sunlit hours.
 Its night persona
   Is blurred movement 
      Seen only from the
        Corner of an eye.
 It stays near deep shadow,
   Beyond the lamp lit arcs.

 Where is it?
 No one knows,
   But if one were to 
      Check the cathedral
        Spire, you’d find
        Only an impenetrable
        Void… 
                 until sunup.

Bronze Goblin [Free Verse]

The bronze goblin 
rides the world.

Its wide eyes always open,
taking in everything 
that happens on the street:

brisk business-like strides
of mid-morning,

mid-day strolls,

slumped evening plods,

midnight staggers,

and witching hour stumbles.

It sees you when you're meeting,
and knows when it's legit.
