On the porch
with my wine
just as dense
and teneborus
as tonight
Looking in
admiring the aura
of my bedroom
golden and beckoning
me in
yet
I prefer this darkness
It is in darkness
that I can see
the lights far away
the wishing ones
the ones that call me out
instead of in-
side my mind
out of thoughts
that aren’t so kind.
