On the slope of the creek I ask her «Where are you going, hiding your |
flashlight with your coat? |
My house is all dark and lonesome, lend me that light.» |
She raised her dark eyes for a moment and looked at my fave through the dusk |
«I've come to the creek» she said |
«to shine my flashlight on the animals in the water when it gets dark.» |
It got darker and I asked again if she would bring her light to my house |
'cause there were no animals in the water |
There was nothing living, moving |
She said «I'm gonna shine it on the sky, it will reach a star.» |
I watched her shine the light uselessly into the sky |
And in the moonless gloom of midnight |
I asked her why she held the light still, close to her chest |
«My house is all dark and lonesome, lend me your light.» |
«I need it to walk home with» she said |
«I can’t see in the dark, like a cat» |
And I watched get lost among the trees and into the lights of the houses |
