Midnight Tango
In the blue hour
long before the light
comes the dance
of creatures
in my troubled mind.
Darkly they dance
off beat with each other
out of time and place
counter point
To the tune I hum.
La blu heure
holds tight the night
as the reel and squeal
out of my mind
I must
awake.

Wow- ours are a bit similar.
ReplyDeleteI trust if one dances with the creatures long enough, answers will arise! Very nice images throughout!
ReplyDeleteI like the atmosphere created in the first stanza.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue hour of nature. Love your poem. Especially the reel and squeal....wow. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteBit of a rude awakening, then, with off beat creatures out of place...I get nights like that too! :)
