Imperative of
Night
The taste of sweat,
vision of the statuesque
through louvered wooden door,
brooding penetrating gaze divine
in quiet counterpoint to evening’s
raucous acceleration into springtime.
Balancing descent from unity
to thundering dichotomies
in tree-line ripple radio
to naked jungle swivel hips
of debutantes on autopilot,
urban flywheel sloshing into
downtown cabbie surcease,
fleeting recognition damped
to coiled imperative of night.
A poet feeling like a castaway in visionary times.
