Crystal Night Poem by Leslie Philibert

Crystal Night

Rating: ★4.5


the darkness pumps steps
down smoke streets, burning
light features the

cow-eyed, the clamped jaws
and forced laughter of those
with bent souls,

we are past all words, thought
is trapped in brown amber, the
night creeps round each corner
