NIGHT'S LIFE.

The dawn was so long
That it stretched
Into yesterday,
And the wind was so strong
That it blew
A few streets away,

And the moment I woke up
I was sad
That I had
Because as time unfolded
Light’s tragedy
Scratched,

But a glistening hunch
Of the evening
Weaved
Till the glorious dusk
Rushed the
Last light to leave,

And then night lay forever,
Like another
New lover,
And it loosened
The leather
Of day’s hardback cover.
