Nyx Unnested by Krista Canterbury Adams
We perch ,
We lie in monstrous guise , Fluttering .
Above the heavy dreaming-smoke , The moonless night comes close , With starry crowns ,
Over the tops of the birch trees .
We watch the western sky Where she approaches , swift of feet — A goddess waking In blue and black ,
Hanging above Our hundred fires .
