Dead of Night

I woke up in the dead of night
«Oh I die»
No light no shape no sound but I
«Oh I die»
I was wide-eyed but saw nothing
«Oh I die»
Kneeling down, feeling around
«Oh I die»
I felt the fur of something
«Oh I die»
In total dark I felt the sleeping thing of
«Oh I die»
From tail to claws, from neck to fangs
«Oh I die»
It was the black wolf they call nothing
«Oh I die»
And by its side I curled and lied
«Oh I die»
I died into sleeping soundlessly
«Oh I die»
When I woke there was nothing beside me of course
And the world was lit and growing
But I said «I know you’re there, I feel your stare
I feel your breathing blowing
See your mashing teeth and falling leaves
Your beady eyes and apples glowing
Oh dead of night hidden from sight
I know you are no dream
And I’m not dozing
