Those hot days of summer  
may indeed belong to the dogs

But the nights!

Those stifling oppressive nights,  
With their surreal, eerie moonlit landscapes  
their obscene, shameful whispered secrets  
their startling noises of falling objects and creaking floors  
their sudden drenching, violent storms  
full of exploding, earth scorching lightning  
and thunder that shakes the glass  
of your suddenly puny seeming windows  
and penetrates all the way  
to the very foundations  
of your terrified soul

The nights belong to werewolves
