Midnight

We play in the midnight garden
Skip along the rooftops
Tremble at the overflow
The cypress tree rises in the wind
All around us is sky
Deep and blue
Like water
We go about our usual route
Twice as many as before
Grappling with stars we find
Crunching on moonbeams
In search of handsome roses
What's mine is yours
There is no one left to tell
The grass subsides under our toes
We farm freakish dreams
Wrap ourselves tightly in the blue blanket
The chill doesn't reach our bones
Not yet
We play along the rooftops
Watch the leaves fall
All is quiet
All is lost
Still her tiny hand reaches mine
We stand together in the midnight garden
Whole
Fearless
Full.
