12-ness

come 12 midnight
and not a sound to be heard

come 12 midnight
and most lights are off

come 12 midnight
and horror films are aired

come 12 midnight
and thieves are out for the kill

come 12 midnight
and most people are snuggling in bed

come 12 midnight
and the unseen come out to roam

come 12 midnight
and the wolves start to howl

come 12 midnight
and the air is cool

come 12 midnight
and a new day will dawn

come 12 midnight
and there is peace and quiet in the world

come 12 midnight
and here i am, typing

come 12 midnight
and not a word from you
