Black and White Night Kristin Baker Kristin Baker is a student is S. Webster's creative writing class Swingin’ like a pendulum in granddaddy’s clock.
Legs a dancin’ like a kid doing the boogie hop.
White sheets a blowin’ like ghosts in the wind.
Trees a creekin’ like eerie music amongst the din.
Fires a burnin’ like windows into hell.
Demons a movin’ around the dell.

Words a killin’ like a murder’s hand.
Blood a flowin’ all over the land.
Bass voices laughin’ like babbling buffoons.
Dark champions a fallin’ like a woman swoons.
Tears a fallin’ like a broken down damn.
Justice a dyin’ like this poor black man.
