Night

Night comes drifting down
the colors close their eyes together
fireflies with their poignant
codes of light signal one another

the lovelorn world of frogs and bugs
makes its cacophony
pairs of yellow windows gleam
and tame the darkness

fruitful branches twine together comfortably
rustling unseen
reminding me
my arms are empty
and without you
night is only black.

-another one of those...
