An Election

All the lights in the city are dark
and the trees of the forest are bare,
we are left with as empty a chair

As could be leading.  Here, an ark,

In a country of seekers, of green.
so now morning is coming to light
And we spoke to the blackness of night.

We hope to stay asleep and dream.
