A Creepy Leap Year
Kenneth Vincent Walker
...and they
disappeared
One brisk starry moonlit
Night; the Moon was full
And a creamy, dreamy,
Ivory shade of white; as
They vanished in thin-air
Without a sound, not a
Trace, no sign of struggle
Nor foul play, no latent
Fingerprints or tracks at
The supposed site of this
Disappearing act, per se,
Only to reemerge and to
Reappear at some exact
Pinpoint in time this year;
Oh, because this year is a
Leap year skipping like a
Slim stone across a pond
Beyond what is fact or a
Delusion or an over-active
Imagination, an illusion,
Or of an alien abduction.
Kenneth
