Bring Along a Lantern

Bring Along a Lantern

 

Night is not

The only dark thing

In the sky this eve

 

There are

Cormorants and crows

Here too

 

Both despised

By fisherman and

Farmers

 

Come winter tho

I too shall be thus

Exposed and starkly

 

Juxtaposed against

A backcloth of both

Pure and brilliant white

 

So I do beg thee

Bring along a lantern

And draw the night behind you
