Daughter Of The Night Poem by Anand Dixit

My body’s very heavy, lethargy
My eyelid’s very heavy, fluttering
My hand’s very heavy, twitching
My breathing’s very heavy, ragged
The sun is setting, bats are betting

The rats are scurrying
The miners are hurrying
The women are worrying
The sun is running
The moon is coming

Eye’s open, deep breath
Sky’s open, black death
Door’s open, living death
Daughter of the night
Slaughter of the light

Hunger pangs, bare fangs
Know where the younger, gangs
Know where the younger, hangs
Hear the blood flowing
Hear the wind blowing

A deep dark desire
A deep dark promise
Daughter of the night
