A poem from a free source black-and-white photograph.
Night light
A lamp in the dark
Perched on pavement.
Moonless night,
Silver dust.
Twisted light,
A lamp in the dark
Perched on pavement.
Moonless night,
Silver dust.
Twisted light,
Pungent oil.
Trapped fireflies
Seeking an escape.
Wires curve,
Trapped fireflies
Seeking an escape.
Wires curve,
Trap the source,
So bright it casts
Everything else black.
A house squats,
So bright it casts
Everything else black.
A house squats,
Eyes darkened out.
Only its gate creaks
In the wind’s arms.
