Can you help with a title for this poem that doesn't give away the ending?
they scurry at night
i hear them
not real footsteps just
faint scrabbling sounds
on low pile carpets
they hide from me
somewhere under the furniture
unseen
i see movement
out of the corner of my eye
was it them or just
a twitch of the dog's tail
i don't see anything now
and the dog is
nowhere in sight
imagined
quiet nights i could swear
i hear giggles
from under the recliner
where i am reading
i stop to listen
was it imagined
or is it them mocking me
nothing
they escape all efforts
at detection
but i know they are there
those minutes of life
that add up to hours
then days and then years
they are the last ones left
escaping

phantasmagoria. its a fancy term used for words like grim, dark, mysterious or eerie. it fits perfect in my opinion.
