Sliver of Night



It only takes a drop or two; a dab of silver and gray to highlight the sky, and my mind is illuminated  with poetic lines

A curtain, a blanket, No! Only a sliver of night

and I am made fully alive by a howling moon.

I pray for highlighted clouds to sing to me, rhymes aloud,

then lull me to sleep ~

the sleep of midnight’s eternal shroud
