Dance in the Night
jittering dance of light and
dark,
the jabs of motions,
frantic flow of hitch and
start,
the dervish jolts, more dash
and retreat,
more scuttle from the murky
edge,
more hasty mash of shapes and
lines,
they will not stay, they will
not still,
they have no time to tarry.
These umbered sprites,
these shimmered dabs,
these moonstruck shadows
of the credulous leaves
that are tempted to live
by the mischievous wind in the night.
