" I Am Night... "

" I Am Night... "

I am night
I am a string of pearls
On a hot summer night
Hanging from the neck
Of 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 ever-emptiness
I am night
Like a drunken, broken, man
I am night
I brood in the light, 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
The coldness that comes at death
The final breath
I
Am
Night...

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)
