She stepped into a bright night
Brighter than any night should be
Stars the size of golf balls shone
Fiercely the moon lit every shade

Clearly something was amiss
Nights have no right to outshine day
And yet she seemed unperturbed

A huge dog stood right before her
Larger than any dog should be
Eyes the size planets glared
Fur on end in furious rage

The bright night lit razor fangs
The angry brute prepared to pounce
And she hasn’t seen a thing

Then the world turns upside down
And inside out and wrong way round
Galaxies coil, spill their guts
The sea boils blue, the sky blood red

Below her feet, gaping void
Above her head demons despair
And still she will not blink

Delicate fingers, nails so pink
Brush an errant hair aside
And absent eyes of hazel grey
Peek at a small device

To her despair
There’s nothing there
He hasn’t even called.
