This Night I Saw

This night I saw
Fear fleeing over the ramparts of the Night
Into the suicide sea that waited it.

This night I saw
The cheeks of Fear yellow-pale
Into the suicide sea wherein it leapt.

This night I saw
The corpse of Fear floating in the dark
Into the suicide sea wherein that waited it.
