At Night

AT NIGHT
The night alights 
Fading the of the day
Her cold blanket shadows the sights
The tired sun fade away

The clouding sky
Hurries in the air
Only for the moon to lie
The night unties her hairs

Her dark garment descends on earth
The trees waving at her arrival
The birds flying below the earth
Above the head at her arrival

The mosquitoes to their corners
Seating on the night for their dinner
