On edge of one's perception

Flashing out of sight

As dusk descends on river town

Come creatures of the night

From out the gloom the bats appear

Like shadows in a dream

Plucking insects from the air

Dark hunters all supreme

Beneath them in the Avon

A silent otter swims

As light departs the heavens

And summer day fast dims.
