The glossy lamp-posts,
like the tremulous stars and awakening stars,
light up one by one with a click;

Under 65 degree starry, onyx blanket
Containment of quarter moon identity

A whimsically soothing song exuded

Snow-capped mountains fell to the floor,
Reflecting blurred images so much more.

Full, of long felt...
