BigFoot
First of April on a hill in the mountains
-and the branches did break
-and the trees did shake
'cross a path where the forest lost light,
-while coming his way
-even air moved away
two lovers setup camp in a clearing
-even fog made a sound
-when his foot hit the ground
and they kissed in the quiet of the night.
Then, they sat near the glow of the campfire
-and his breath was a fright
-at his twenty foot height
where the food on the grill smelled good,
-and his eyes burned red
-like the hair on his head
and they drank and laughed 'til midnite
-he was hunting that night
-saw the campfire light
then they tucked into bed like they should.
Then the forest went quiet.
Then the sounds went silent.
And the trees waited trembling in the woods.
But the stars sprinkled Heaven when they rushed out
throwing twinkles in the icy air of night
hitting slopes and paths even hilltops
where the light froze the campers in his sight.
Then a bird on a branch held its one breath
and a squirrel stopped its eating mid-bite.
And a deer that was leaping seemed to freeze-frame.
Something dreadful was emerging from the night.
First footstep echoed with an impact
-and the campers did sleep
-and they never made a peep
Second step towards the camp was a bump
-and their bodies vibrated
-from his sound radiated
Then he leaped from the shadows of the darkness
-and the air did smell
-like a stench from Hell
and the ground made them jump from his thump !
They looked ! He looked ! They ran ! He roared !
Now, the chase was a race through the darkness
-and the lovers ran blind
-over shrubs and pines
and closer came the thumping of his feet.
-and the branches did break
-and the trees did shake
Then each big hand grabbed a lover
-and their hearts did race
-as they fought his embrace
And they prayed that it wasn't time to eat !
And the breath from his mouth made them weak !
And his hands pulled them closer to his teeth !
Their terror was a scream in the night’s light.
Each breath, tiny seconds from their last.
And the lovers locked eyes with "I love you's"
Then he belched with a chuckle and he laughed !
-and the squirrel looked up
-and the bird took a breath
-and the deer finished leaping with a smile
And the forest seemed to chime with his laughter
as his chuckles boomed ‘cross a forest mile.
Red eyes smiled on lovers with a twinkle.
Hot hands put them on the ground to cool.
At the forest edge, he turned and chuckled madly
saying "Gotcha, little people ! April fool ! "
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! April freaking fool ! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Y’all come back, ya hear ! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Don’t be a stranger now! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
