Malinconico e Misterioso

At night, the cliff glows,
Pale slab, vague palette,
Great grey-white smear

Ready for any
Human projections.
Wander the roadside

In the dark, some night.
Pick up a pebble
With a broken side.

Feel it with your thumb,
Pebble of gravel.
Cliff a broken stone,

Earth, too, a pebble.
There’s so much that’s not
Too fascinating.
