Normal Midnight from Nightlife by Eli Van Sickel

I find this town utterly romantic and beautiful in the middle of the night,
as its thousands of people with thousands of stories allow the lights to make
shadows,
projecting their raw hearts onto the pavement with fierce, dark colors.

I find this town utterly romantic and beautiful in the middle of the night,
when the stillness of streetlights maintains some semblance of an equilibrium
(even if it may not seem so)
and the moon looks on, observing all of us in all our translucent glory.

I find this town utterly romantic and beautiful in the middle of the night,
when young men and women become immortal
and the tragedy of tomorrow seems forever far off in the distant future
and the horrors of our truest selves shake off their locks and chains and shackles
and release themselves (and us) into the air.

Yes, it is true: I find this town utterly romantic and beautiful
tonight
