The Boogeyman

Night vision changes the world
a perspective shift
that changes our depths and heights
the smallest moments tower over us
taking on new, dizzying proportions
large shadows loom
as ominous portents
but only holding their fearsome presence
for the scant hours the sun allows
darkness fades
and clear vision returns
giants reduced to manageable sizes
as daylight chases the boogeyman away – Caroline A. Slee
