your night 

 

the night has a muffled sound

a sleeping shadow

it travels swiftly through vast planes

untouched ─

and through enormous hearts

of babies lying on crumpled pillows

​

i am your night sometimes

i have a sky and many stars for you

but please remember

the night has massive secrets

and tales about lost men

it whispers their names

the wind – the planes – the stars

 

sshhh listen…

i am here behind you
