Silhouettes

You are the night 
that makes pupils dilate,
illuminates the stars,
and conceals mistakes.

You are the night 
that renders silence 
a piercing, echoing,
dizzying, ring.

You are the night 
cradling one to sleep,
and keeping another one 
wide awake.

You are the night 
which weaves reveries
---an urge to anticipate.

You are the night 
which makes souls pirouette
and dances with their silhouettes.
