Midnight

Its midnight in the city
that never sleeps...
The cars that never stop
roaring past my
shuttered victorian window...
The music, no the noise
of a city that has forgotten
the pleasure of being...
Of late mornings and
early nights...
I havent heard a bird
a cricket, a brook
in months, no years...
And I yearn
with a longing that is
like an ache...
