Fluttering, flittering,Fleetingly skittering,The bats burst out the tangle of ash,Swerving, zipping,Instinctively flipping,The evening acrobats dash,Deftly dancing,Artfully darting,Whirring wings above me flash,Flickering, twisting,Skittishly skimming,My heart leaps at needle squeak,Zigzagging, twirling,Swiftly swerving,Detector splutters as they streak,Swaying, scooting,Nimbly swo
