Something

Unnameable 
and I stumble for words
but it is something like this
eyes blur
as I frantically try to focus
And I almost see 
wait no 
yes
a hulking creature
cloaked and shaded
Yellow eye beaming
from the knot of a tree
arms hugging the bark
unblinking
yet I blink hard
and the 
thing
is gone
just a rotting log
terrified 
maybe it is just the fear
of being watched
I don't want to look
unnameable
screams
yet it is a warm dawn
and birds throb between notes
but
I still fear that
something
Gaze colliding
between the trees
that smile masked or maybe hooded
unnameable
between paralyzed trees
I can't explain
but I recognize that fear that one day 
I will look
and something will be looking back
unnameable
