Night Flight by David Frazier



Bats in night shadows
Ebony flight.
Feeding time
Twilight, bats flock.

Dart and weave
Jagged paths,
Gnashing teeth
As they eat.

Flying rodents
Sucking on warm blood.
Pray your not prey.
Vampire bats 

Drink bodily fluids.
Fly back to the cave,
Hang upside down,
Make guano.

Rest until nighttime, 
They wing into the abyss.
Searching for meals
Red, warm, and thick.

The attack occurred south of Phoenix
On a back road.
Sent you to hell
In the Sonora desert.

Convertible top down, slumped in the seat.
Completely dead.
Your drained body
Never was found.
