Night is the realm of the dream
The propitious escape from the straitjacket of reality
Beyond the circles of light, darkness is the ultimate refuge
Where the unknown, the unseen and the unmentionable
Conspire about their next flight to the stars
And in the distance, across the river and its drifting mists
Lights and cranes shimmering in the night like a launching pad
