Black Night


Black Night

The bleak stars in the sky,
Twinkle, shiver, fade
into the idle black of night,
darken, shrivel, break.

And the words travel to my ears,
from distant planets, spheres,
the sentences dancing in the dark,
before they disappear.

And the night has its cold embrace,
Until I am in the black, attack,
around my hips, my heart, my face,
my soul when under its weight it cracks
