Poem: Long Night Into Day

Long Night Into Day


light stung

with its lack of tomorrow,

the what-was that devoured the what-if. 

light lived in a hive of everstressed people,

below sharp blue height that leered over crowded boxes.

 

light, it ran away so fast.

it didn’t have to face the causes,

such as the clear-cut nudity

of the harsh sexless sex,

which was the overdose of money-smitten people

shackled in towers of ruthless equations.

 

light. 

it hurt.  it framed.  it trapped.

so brutal that hope

preferred to remain an unturned stone.


the night fed the light its lurid pretenders.

maskers who played cards without mercy.

games of dogs, paws on each other’s hearts,

digging for bones.
