City Lights

R.M. Drake "Gentle Madness", a micro-narrative taken from "A Brilliant Madness":

The night
Was meant
For people like us
For people
Who use it to get away

For people
Who see themselves
In the city lights
And for those
Who lose themselves
In the long walks home

The night is where
The gentle madness
Is
My friend
And that is where

People

Like us belong
