this night
moves as slowly as the moon across the sky
waves,
as it passes by an open bedroom window
I’ve decided not to spend my love
on cheap show-rides
that spin me round and dump me
and churn up my insides
Instead I think I’ll save it for the kind that takes its time.
A kind that I can truly say is mine all mine
there are moths beating themselves up at the door
wanting to share this late night brightness
why waste the magic banging your wings against the glass
when there’s a vast expanse of sky out there to fly around in
stars dim and lose their allure
dwarfed by the might of the day
dazzled at first by an artificial kind
but blinded in the realness of the sun
by comparison
this night
has finally dawned on me
