a nighttime walk
on an abandoned street
I walk in silence,
darkness at my back.
I stumble on an uneven crack,
catching myself on a deserted car.
I regain my balance and
awaken the moon with my grunt.
He emerges through grey clouds,
a streak of light scolding me.
Warning of his sleepiness
as darkness tonight is his keeper.
