dance of lights

long after families are roost
here, still perched I am
a dark raven
the black child
a hermit king
lacking in regal

every night brings me
to this very roof-top
to watch lights dance
dance of the loners
music of the lights
in a black night

Masterfully played as if by
Invisible Hand


the windows bright
others flicker on
others off
each with secrets only
known to their owners
.master.


even the night breeze
stops to listen to the lights
.enchanted.


car tops make giant
pianoforte of parking
beneathe me
armed alarms thro'
windshields.
.rows.
a blue here a red there
an alternating
regular blink
a tempo
loud and clear

'above all

stars
lights of lights
dance a song
unparalled final dance
a celestial wonder
in infinite ballroom
.choreography.
impeccable, spiritual

and for once I'm
a hermit no more
we're all on the sidelines, subjects
spectators
equal.
equal,
all Equal
