nighttime

Stars drowned out by city lights

flicking cigarettes while the birds sing

smoke dances, halos

 

later never comes

sooner stays within reach

lovers’ embraces

touches lost in blowing winds

 

twinkling displaced by loud laughs

long breath, miles away

missing you like tomorrow never comes

 

moon sets, sun rises

just like the day before.

misplaced voice in a loud crowd

too far away from arms close by
