NEON

For a time I lived with you

in suntime;

came in from the darkness.

I was a night creature even then-

looking for dark excitements

a longwhiskered cat stalking

walking my solitary walk on the wildside

looking into deep shadows and neon lights

In your eyes I was an argonaut

a seeker after sunlight

We ran sidebyside through fields of wondergreen

in love with each other and our bright days.

Perhaps we knew even then

that the night had to come

that I would hear the sad and lonely call

of neon lights and asphalt.
