Midnight

Midnight-
a black canopy covers
the empty sky.
somewhere in the distance
music wafts to your ears
background music,
quiet sound.

Midnight-
scream, scream like hell
the sky will not judge
your secrets:
swallowed whole.

Midnight-
no one to hear you
but the vast expanses
of endless sky.

Midnight-
comforting loneliness,
a safety blanket
made of nothing
but the black canopy
that covers
the vast expanses
of endless sky.
