Sharpened Eyes

Lonely trees and quiet leaves Insomniac dogs on empty streets Unoccupied benches and swing seats Parked cars and chained bikes Left to gather fateful dews Under the black sky; Cloudy and avoided by glittering stars The public tap Deserted, dry and dreaming of Sleeping mothers and bed-wetting children My darkness sharpened eyes Abandoned by sleep and all hopes of it Saw through the windows of the night That men rule the day But night won’t be tamed.
