Bats



The day is done now; comes the gloaming
Creatures of the dark are roaming
Wings of leather, bodies warm
Gracefulness of function, form
Like two hands inside of gloves
Circling the sky above 
Clicks and echoes in the night
Shadowed hunters take to flight
Blackness ends now; sunrise soon
Hide again, birds of the moon.
