NIGHT'S SONG

The night crashes
Into the lengthening
Shadows of the sun
The night does not fall
She is too dark
Too deep
Too divine
Too emotional
Too comforting
To fall; to crash
She rises
Rises like a love
That has found itself again
Wrapping herself in radiance
Nuzzling the burgeoning bosom
Of day
Engulfed in molten scabs
That have stopped oozing
Oozing with desolation
Igniting the sceptres of the sun
To burst again
Bursting into the dawn
