Bats

This is a blackout poem using TS Eliot's work as base text. The image is of a bat hanging upside down on a dark and red background. Many pairs of red eyes shine out of the background.

By Alo Mier

He

was only harmless.

The only man

who could

hear the cry of bats.

But

there were no bats.
