The city lies below the hill
Distant, evanescent, still
The city lights, they dangle there
As though supported by thin air
Like winking stars beneath your feet

And where the sky and city meet
Darkness never fell
I’d just as soon not travel there
But sit and fascinated, stare
Reflections of the starry skies
The city’s innocent disguise
