Streetlights, by Terrence Sykes

Streetlight, by Giacomo Balla (Italy) 1909

Streetlights
 
stoning burden of fog
               upon lost hours
               laden sea & sky
 
if only languished gods
              above & beyond 
              were lamplighters 
 
descending terra firma 
            ascending babel ladders
            lighting silenced stars
