2 AM Porch Rocker Reflections

Who owns the night?
With its doubts and dreams, its fantasies and fears,
the promise of beginnings, the blood at the end of the tunnel...

Who owns the night?
A woman's far-off laughter, a baby's nighttime cry,
wild street party noise or a cricket's country song...

Who owns the night?
Flickering fireflies dance while alley cats slink,
a lonesome train whistle, then an ambulance's wail...

Who owns the night?
The stark, somber shadows and bright beckoning stars,
bourbon's three-fingered blessing, a lunatic's curse...

Who owns the night?
I do...
