Night Walking
Keli Stafford
If I should walk all night and all night again
My clumsy steps like a halting minuet
Amid black storms and sunlit spells
Ever chasing each other over the horizon
Into the face of a storm cloud at sunset,
I will have fled in a circle overtaken
By sensations that spread a wider gloom
Towards the edge of the unknown
Where my eyes alone see the misery
Created by sleepers who are uncaring
And encircled in a halo of vanity
While I am led through a labyrinth
Unwinding in the streets of the outcast
Living the story of what you do not say
From the first hour of my life to the last.
