In the night

A coyote howls

Fresh from a kill

Howls at the moon high off of pure thrill

Two lovers in a cafe kiss over their burger and fries

They have escaped studies and strict teacher’s for one night.

They have escaped their parents fight.

A cat prowls slowly in the distance in pursuit of a mouse

And then quickly disappears into the hedge or it’s house

The moon is bright and the stars are out

They shine for it is dark all about.

With night the smoke and city smog disappears

It smells of rain once again

As opposed to daylight when it smells of smoke and ash once again.
