Swallowed by the night sky
Enclose me with your barren voice
Stammered in the translucent dark
Her eyes on the silent river
Light as the curse of the night wind
Explore, under my mask,
Pale as the night
Her eyes as the soundless moon
Her eyes as a bright look at night
The moon with clouds against her
Until that night, I fell for you
When you became unseen
And the beauty was in all things
Swallowed inside the night sky

We fade into the night
Watch us drift away
Our disappearance ever so slight
Please, don’t be afraid
We return in the morning
But fade again in darkness

In skies always starless
Spiral of blue smoke
Drifts in the blackest of nights

thawing as spring comes upon us
like hell-fire visions –

Cold wind blows in the
dark night, as trash cans tumble
in a lonely street
