Undead

it dripped and it ran,
down towards the ground;
a pool of red, blood red,
the reflection causing a flinch,
a stumble,
a trip, a fumble.

drowned-out screams and shattered glass,
broken and empty, crisp air breathing deeply
through red, blood red;
a shimmer of dread,
a glimpse of behind,
nefarious but sullen, it awakes;

undead.
