Your lines dissolve in me
The mystery disappears and
You delight
I am the forest night
Cloak your shoulders in a thrill
Expecting cold and listen
You absorb the hush
I am the city night
Oozing through the cracks
Shadows play our faces
In prison, you are free
I am the life of night
That Mother sang
That Father wrote
To which Brother cried
And Sister woke
Your life in me is spent
I am the night that asks
Surrounds and rolls in
Wet tender kisses
Your rhythm is death
