In the Dark Abyss

The Yellow-Bellied Sheathtail-Bat 

glides through the dark abyss of night.

 I hear the unique high-pitched squeak from my bed, 

I dream, I wonder throughout the night as it climbs ever higher.

Snacking on insects while it uses its echolocation. 

When I first heard the bat

the sky was purple, splotched blood red.

It lives in a cave near our property

close to 

woodland.
