darkest night

darkest night

 

inside each melody --

fragrant spark

playing round us

 

incandesces everything

at once

 

on light beams, songs

for their own pleasure play

 

desideratum's designedly

desiring desist of

insanity's mare of night

 

melodies play on

nonetheless, so there will

be light in darkest night.
