Eternal strain
of
dark
moments
like
gasps of an asthmatic….
asphyxiated
the night turned
deadly blue.
Oil emptied itself
like the passing time…
the lamp cries dry and hoarse
in the dead of the night….
The wick stands burnt
emitting dead smoke
buried moonlight
thirsty clouds
crawl and clamber
in chained agony….
night is
dreary
like a loveless
life…
