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.
