there's definition for the law of night
appreciation of the raptor's power
chances of retribution are but slight
the owl's not interrupted in her flight
down to the earth from crumbling tower
there's definition for the law of night
mouse that squeaks in existential fright
apprehended far from odoriferous bower
chances of retribution are but slight
the hunter's law is not justice but might
her shadow makes tremulous beasties cower
there's definition for the law of night
each fearful creature knows its final plight
what's left from the dark air will shower
chances of retribution are but slight
in these dark places is now law or right
hunger alone must celebrate its hour
there's definition for the law of night
chances of retribution are but slight
