After Hours

Have you seen the sad beeings
that get passive in the dark light
after hours
hiding loneliness
by walking lonely up and down the streets
after hours
Have you noticed the mad beeings
that get active in the twilight
after hours
nibble substances to shut up whispering voices
in their heads
after hours
Did you observe the bad beeings
that are hiding in the alleys
after hours
selling medicine that doesnt heal you,
more then short times
after hours
The gallery of characters that populates the hours
the mad, the bad, the sad.

Habitat of Light

24 hours of glitter
visible from space
the creatures leaves the djungles
for the gardens
The bats have left the bell towers
for dimly uplit parks
the deer are munching apples
in the gardens
we can not see the milky way
we can not count the stars
in the habitat of light
illuminated windows
for shopping in the night
a tiny sun in every lamppost
the regular daily cycle
and the rest in dark
interrupted by the
neon light

Nocturnal City

nocturnal cities
when lights are low
the posh and pretty
get ready for the show
nocturnal cultures
that just exists in the dark
a frontier of pleasures
that leave the days without marks
the dimly lit sidestreet
forms a protective shield
in the search for identity
in the urban field
what is the difference
with the cities of night
and the cities of the day?
in the nocturnal city

the twilight zone
sets the mental level
the morning light
the pale blue hour
a wake up clock
a morning call
to announce
the break of dawn
the short blue wave
sets the body clock
to wake you up
or to insomnia
Among the artificial light
blue hours to the dawn from midnight
slowly grinding down the mind
the blue, artificial light
