night

by fish - Not entered

each purposeful song in the branches and leaves
is a truth about nervous life at ease
and proof that the day will be long.

each shadow cast by the afternoon star 
brings a shade to the earth and a warning
to all that is made that the day
will soon pass.

each infant's scream at the shock of new light
is ripening flesh, protecting the night
from enlightening birds without wings.
