Night Watchman Poem by William F Dougherty
Night Watchman
The old man shuffled into drop-cloth night
absolving dark hooded the vacant day,
soothing his nettled mind-until an arc
of moon usurped his way,
fixing him with its crescent horns
-as if in the grasp of a countermand
its fingernail pressed into dark,
as if his night were taken in hand.
