Glow

 

The city

warms the clouds

with the glow

of streetlights

headlights

porchlights

yardlights

The searchlights

from the airport

draw compass points

across the sky

Nowhere

is dark complete

or night unilluminated

not even behind

my closed

eyelids

East of the dam

the river dances madly

freed from its season

under ice.
