tonight

cold
fears warmth today
never takes breaths away

for tonight is
a sea of valleys wide and full
of nowheres and vast nothings
of crazies in the corner
of pretentious in their booths
tonight is the flood of words
before a good meal
sucked into the world from a great height
and tonight is the horses hay,
and the hangman’s challenge
for the price to pay.
Tonight is all capitals and dreams
where we drift away
and where the machines come to play
it is messages of the old
and babies of the new
and stiches in between them
anew the frost once there.
Tonight is a prince of courtyards,
and a forgotten song.
And to this night, I sing.
