the streets were all on fire
the night, a living, stalking thing
the war zone was closed for repairs
we walked home in the rain
our staircase was no Jacob's ladder
at midnight the ball came to end
we mounted and found the apex
and repeated all night long
nothing was left out or, behind
there were no causes to discern
through the window-a vivid vista
and the streets continue to burn
