The sky salivates
Like men I can't name
Just a drip
Just a drop
Show some skin
Hide your pain,
-----------------mistress night
Flaunting your moonbeams
Are you alright
----------------in this cold autumn,
mistress night?

I suppose
There's not much of a choice
Forever under that sky, pressed down
-----------you've lost your voice,
mistress night

I can't hear your crickets-
are you alright?

Not a flinch

Not a sound

The ran pours down----------on the night
