From Deep Night

Written by Joseph Osita



                                     From
                                 Deep Night
                               Beneath Owl's
                           Cold weep of ages
            And fireflies assembly of light-tailed ants
        Restless words creep into my slumbering hearts
                       Thought tape message
                                 As it crawls
                                 Ink warms
                                       Up

I like how you use imagery from the night creatures for your poem. Good one! Iam a night owl so I really like this.
