the night

tonight is an inconvenient moon
pushed aside by clouds and rain.

tonight is a night to be out if you
have to, but only if you have to.

tonight is a widow's walk.

tonight brings out forces of
instinct and survival and 
assessing the risks.
you must assess yourself
on nights like this to ensure
you are not lacking.

you navigate the night
with urgency and with purpose,
cocooned in the knowledge that
forward is the only direction.

the space around you is small
but the night,
the night 
is infinite.
