Periwinkle Sky

do do do do do
do do do do do

i thought the streelight
against the periwinkle sky
was the orange of the sun setting
between the silhouetted branches
of the trees
tangled with the telephone wires

but it wasnt the sun
but it was the sky
but it wasnt the sun in the sky

do do do
do do do
do do do do do do do

i thought the lights in the distance
were the skyline of the city
but the streets are a lot closer than you think
when you stand and have a look.

the periwinkle sky
fading into midnight
the lights in the distance
fading to the lights on one street over
the snow on the banks
seperating the road
where the dirt on the cars
drags the perfect white to brown

the life at night time here
