Yellow
by Richard VinceTonight is quiet
All I can hear is myself
The sound of my body, alive
But where is my mind?
I mislay important things
They become submerged
Under a growing pile of half truths
And are obscured from my view
And protected from my questing fingers
My consciousness seemed to fall asleep
And this urban darkness is illuminated
With a dull, wizened yellow
Old light is better than no light at all
