as the cold builds
and Winter reaches out claws
to rip up sup
as we wander.
Currently, we wonder
who is our stalker
and rumors talk of one
who likes stabbing backs
with real knives.
I don't venture
west of Third West
myself now that my allergies
rage up so easily
so it's hearsay.
Or is it?
Been warning folks lately
about the new, darker element
that walks the streets
of Salt Lake.
Now, at night
I do worry some
about those guys I know
who have gone back
to the shelter.
And those campers
who brave that area
at about the same time
as these crimes occurred
at Coffee Line.
Eyes narrowed warily
I survey those about
seeking some clue, but fail
to see where threats
may be waiting.
Oh, I see
some that cause concern
but none match what happened
or am I blinded
by my misconceptions.
So I walk
with a different gait.
Hiding the bum knee's pain
to make the target
look less inviting...
and warn friends
to beware.
