My Night In A Black Curtain

We wished to know

Each other

Like night and spoon.

I hear myriad spoons

Giggle night after night

On prized tables,

I hear unbroken sound

Of spoons dancing in joy,

At night.

I visit a small town

Every night like a spoon.

In proximity,

Road lights wink, houses

Big and small, look scary.

My night is draped in a

Big black curtain

But in that town I only hear

Unbroken sound

Of spoons

Falling from every table

And ridiculing me, every night.
