Nocturnal

Dream... up
stars overflowing
                                         over
from ridge 
... to gorge
                                                                                                                                                                              ... (dimming...glinting) ...

... (dimming ... glinting) ...


At times, a gilded halation
      一   above, floating, lilting, half a 
nocturnal  一                                                                                                ... (dimming...glinting) ...

lifts up the horizon
over 
the hills
                                                                                                                                                                                                      ... (dimming...glinting) ... .

... (dimming ... glinting) ...
