The Night Comes to Life

Night wakes into being, night
arrives, the
dark rivers
hammer against the waves.....
A look—that spark,
look how swift!
Eyelids stretch down
with joy.....


The body burns away, the
body holds fast
passions at the turning tide,
and longs to fly.....
Stars draw nearer!
Stars sink lower.....
Morning gazes shyly
at the dawn.....
