Me

City Lights at Night (Photo by Jacqueline Boutros)

Somewhere

In the background

Through the dark blue sky

25 fireflies

Specs of golden yellow light

Gliding into a violent moonlight

Into my sight

In my right ear

My right eye

My left eye

Double vision

And I'm left blind

Gone during the day

They blend into the pale blue sky

Settling in the west

Below the eastern shoreline

The blood orange moonshine

Murky liquids reflecting grey skies

Blue grey mornings

Following forgotten nights

Pitch black coffee

Brown toast

And egg whites

Freezing

Burning

My refrigerator’s churning

Out ice

Nice

For orange juice

And fried rice

She is lovely

Isn’t she

She kisses me on the cheek

When I come back

She’ll be here

When I leave

She’ll be here
