Night

Despite all the fun that the poets have had
Describing it thus, the night's not happy or sad.
I've had my heart broken under “smiling stars” and “grinning moon,”
And another time at high noon.
The one feeling of contentment I feel fit to write about
Happened on a snowy night, mummified in clouds,
and despite that, night's not a lover of peace.
In fact, in the dark, violence tends to increase.
