Retribution Poem by Leslie Philibert

Retribution



More than a lost night,
heavy as old cloth,
blind as an uncaged wind

rather a space where all the stars
are lower than down,
the moon drifts
through arcs of frost.

The high masts along the road
are crowned with sodium light,
a cage like the edge of a prison,
a string of cruel pearls.

This is how I suffer
from that which I seek,
alone in the changed dark.

A night-train passes, but at a distance.
