A Poem by Alida

she told me not to stay up all night

but my mind cannot control the light

the darkness comes and I am still here

every night, every month, every year


I have tried to tame the moon and stars

but they serve the night as I my heart

we try to speak when we meet at dark

but the darkness always keeps us apart


one day I shall cut you down I swear

and I shall go to sleep without a care

finally freed from chains built by morals

I shall sleep with the stars inside my forearm
