‘Stars And Streetlights'


Stars, slight
Decorate the night
From their fragile glow
You couldn't know
Their might

Streetlights -
Orange, pink and white
Neon and sulphur glare
Mostly impairs
My sight

Take me from these streets of spite
Save me from this Earthbound plight
Place me where the stars shine brighter than life

Otherwise, I'm quite
Contented to hang right
Where I can reach pulsars
From the rope that grasps
My neck, tight.
