A Vast Radiant Night

A fantasy poem thriller about a zombie.

A Vast Radiant Night

　

couples run naked then plunge into the vast sea

laughter ensues...

through the duration of the night

a flock of birds with intense sounds

In the distance the still silence then an old man appears

gets into his boat and heads out to a light house

there is quite a mystery to this man

some say he is a ghost captured in time

still he takes his time and fixes the light house

On this particular night while fixing a shudder

he fell of his ladder

took a turn for the worse

with a deadly blow...

authorities got word that the old man was missing

finally after a week they searched the light house

there was blood every where but no body

the old man turned into a zombie

as the police were getting ready to leave

something held tight to the officer's sleeve

it was the zombie old man

biting down on the officers' neck

with long viscous fangs that bite dripping blood off side

the other officer blew a hole with a shot gun in the zombies head

shot him dead or so they thought

ever since that day the light house was forbidden

for the officer that was bitten

he spread his infection to the village population

they found no cure but dealt with the explosion of the zombies

a vast radiant night

it all meant to scare & fright
