Lights at night.

Dripping down lamp poles

Scribbled in neon

Rusting in empty doors,

Lights at night.

Lights at night.

Flashing at railroads

Smoking in headlamps

Scraping asphalt roads,

Lights at night.

Silent in parking lots,

Glancing from windows,

Heating wet tree leaves

Shouting through store signs

Shivering galaxies in your eyes.

Lights at night.

Blocking black shadows

Captured in tide pools

Clinging to lattice work

Gently falling from heavens.

Liquid in the scrim of your hair’s halo.
