The Night Watch
Walk with me through the night. Too long have we been disacquainted with it, too long have we been blinded by LED screens and peep show signs. I want to know silence again. Besides, I haven’t seen the moon in ages – and you could be my excuse. A dubious honour – you say with a deadpan face. Alright then – we can pretend we’re on patrol like Rembrandt’s “Night Watch” a long way from home. I used to laugh at those men oblivious as they are to the angels enveloping them in a two-person aura. But that’s the thing – you can only see the angels when you’re outside the frame and looking in. And so – if there be angels out tonight we will not see them we will not know. Anca Rotar Anca Rotar is a Romanian-born writer of poetry and fiction. She was driven to writing by her love of stories and verse, as well as by an ever-increasing fascination with mysteries and the unknown. Her biggest complaint is that there are too many interesting things in the world and hardly enough time to discover them all. http://ancaspoemsandstories.wordpress.com
