Hidden Nature

Image-based fibonacci poem for Dark Dreamscapes Poetry Contest [entry for 02/2019].

Bound
for
nowhere,
I wander,
aimlessly seeking
a target for my dark desires.
Embers of goodness, tamped-down for ages past, flicker.
My blank face conceals the glee with which I ruthlessly crush their vain attempt to sway me.
Then I see him: his gait unsteady, his path unsure.
Darkness rises within me as
I strike, revealed at
last to all
with eyes
to
see.
