Night Sight
Another leaden moonstruck night sprawls its sickly illumination--where all visibilities seem escapees from a far and lunatic borderland. Under the eaves, dull by a dim street light, spiders scuttle on crooked legs weaving shrouds for blunderers who supply juice for nocturnal rites. A restless cat with matted fur, its green void-mirror eyes drawing in the fungal light, drags a scrawny shadow down a wasted alley to drop its venereal litter beneath a galled shrub. From a dull throat, something growls; off in shadows a gaunt dog gags, coughs up something viscid, then limps away between blind houses. On the horizon, insidious technologies dry-heave invasive particulates upon this concrete land of fallen trees.

Atmospheric and exquisitely rendered. I was especially taken with the dog that limps away between blind houses.
Many thanks, Pamelyn.
