lyrics

The Night He Defies

Night occurs without fanfare,
just drapes itself on the horizon,
swiftly, evenly. Any sparks,
from kindling fires, or
from humans scraping together,
are instantly dampened.
The moon inquires only haltingly.
The stars are weak and sporadic.
Buildings and hillsides
become the night, entering its density.
Still, a single window is lit,
there in an alcove amidst branches
and wires. Someone in his cell
is toiling, bowing
to the night he defies.
