My city is Moonless.
I ask very little;
But my shadow is split
Across countless city lights
And back home,
She would drown them all out.
Skyscrapers and waterfronts
And bridges to nowhere
Can only take you so far
When you wake up at midnight,
Because hers is the
Higher calling, drawing eyes
Like dreams, like oceans
Across the horizon.
And the heart, threatening
To burst out within you,
Is an ache that drives people
Skyward, for her pull
Is undeniable
And unattainable, yet we reach out
For her, seeking salvation,
Until it is too much to bear:
When the world is beautiful, it is
Beautifully happy,
And beautifully tragic, and for some reason
I stopped being okay with that
A long time ago.
So I make the world
Reasonable, and things are reasonably
Happy, and reasonably tragic,
And the roses stop
Screaming my name.
And now,
I am Moonless.

Hi,
Exquisitely intelligent piece that captures the
shadows of sombre self-examinations.
