In the Time of Night
Her lips awoke the sleeping city
One breath across chilled teeth and cogent words
It was then that the city came to life
The fog rolled through the empty streets like crashing waves
And as it reached the end of faded gates the thunder cracked throughout the sky
Both moon and stars peeked from their shroud of clouds
The light of which touched the sleeping people with paused dreams and movement of stiff limbs
Stretched spiderwebs and crushed leaves, the echoed footsteps whisked the dust away
Withered petals shivered to life in the color of radiant moon rays
And shattered streetlamps flickered soft light
The once rusted city now stirred
The once frozen gears now turned
Time passes as night blooms
