Hot Thief Night
My mother once told me that the
Thief came to her at the black twilight hours of
Night, when the only light was the white
Hot moon in the black sheet sky. The
Thief took away her most precious gem and treasure that
Night as she dreamt of timely love and mother nature's gifts. But she felt
Hot skin touch her mind as she swore her eyes were shut tight;The
Thief had left a treasure of his own for her to steal away into the
Night. But this gift was my mother's and not that of
Hot starry skies or the pale faced moon or the black shade of the
Thief. I see now why I dwell more in the
Night then under blue and white stains, or in green patches, looking up to the
Hot singular star. I do not belong to the
Thief. I was born in the
Night. My life burns in mother's mind
Hot.
