artificial light

and you're
divine like the horses
with the sun
shining down on them
and shining back into the world

in the fields
i drive past
in my car listening
to the songs and the bit of static on
that fm radio station
and it grows dark
and the jewelry on my wrist
is bright
with the stars shining down
on them and shining back into the world

and i arrive home and pull into the driveway
and head inside
and lock the door behind
and go upstairs and open the door
to my bedroom and go
inside
and sit there on my bed alone
with one dim lamp shown
dull into
the world
