A Good Night
Do not go gently into that good night, He said. What good night? I replied. What night is ever good? You lay there in solitary darkness,

And the Wolf Follows
Every waking moment, it haunts my anxious mind. It stalks me like a wolf in the shadows, its friends eagerly snapping their jaws, waiting for a chance to tear me apart.
