Dark Night
DARK NIGHT
Night, river, city, lights *
Red image dissolves in horizontal
Shimmering watery wavelets
Like embers shedding from sheets
Of soft steel in a mould and
Neon reflected in blurred rainbows
Note: * This line recalls Alexander Blok’s opening line “Night, street, lantern”
. from his masterpiece “The Twelve”
