This poem is mine and has not been published anywhere. I'd be happy to represent the Block. And I'm not representing any other board.

Walking Past Midnight
He runs ahead into the night.
The bodiless phosphorescence--
reflection of countless tiny stars
falling--covers the ground in light.
I follow dark stars in the snow
to an open field beyond trees;
we two, the only living beings
in sight. The unlit houses bare
faceless mirrors staring back
like a coven of somnambulists.
Reluctantly, I yell for him, afraid
I will awaken sleepers. We run,
instinctively, to the back door,
shaking the snow from our bodies.
Foot and paw prints disappearing,
a moment's presence buried.

Hi Billy,
Thanks,
and also would you please add in this thread a statement that you are not representing any other board:
And, Billy, this is your call of course, but I thought the simile
"like a coven of somnambulists."
was strong to the poem.
Might consider: like a coven of insomniacs.
^^ Your call, Billy.
Good Luck in the finals
