I Am Night

I Am Night

It is in the subtle margins
Of my tortured soul
Where I sometimes find
That I am Night...
-----------------------------
I am a string of pearls
On a hot dancer
Sweating
In the night sky
Spinning slowly
Into celestial recesses
And wrapping myself
Around all things
I am night
-----------------------------
With a mutating appetite for light
I am night
In a black hole of emptiness
I am night
Like a drunken, broken, man
I brood in the light
And smile in the darkness
I am the veil
I am night
--------------------------------
I am a funeral procession
The pallbearers
That come marching
At sunset
I am night
That coldness
Which comes at death,
The final breath,
I am night...
