Night

5/17/11

Night

Rain drops drop down from big black sky.

Wide black sky, no stars, no moon,

Only golden lamplights floating in the air

Like idle suns, isolated,

Below big black sky.

Rivulets of rain water run

By the sides of streets,

Paved golden by lamplights,

Floating still

In the air.

Night.

I thought I knew you.

Black puddles shine gold

In the still light of golden lamplights

Like black glass.

Air blows its breath and

Limp limbs of trees sway in the night.

I miss your arms.

I thought I knew you.

No eyes in the sky

Only big black blackness

Wide in the sky –

Only golden lamplights floating in the air.

Golden like your eyes,

But they are not your eyes.

Night.

I thought I knew you.
