your batsignal

That hopeful glance towards
the heavily laidened
star filled sky.
the call of invisble birds,
under this urban orange light glow.
Im lost on these streets below
unable to get my bearings
away from you, teary eyed.

This thick overcoat collar
pulled up high to keep out
your cold fingered breeze
numb through
enough to bring
any man to his knees.
starving myself
of this hunger
for you.

That batsignal sign
a scalding meteorite
overhead bright
stealing all gazes
except mine.
no matter where i turn
unable to get away
from your presence
lurking in the shadows
hiding from your sight.
burnt out deep behind.

That hopeful glance towards
the heavily laidened
star filled sky.
the call of invisble birds,
under this urban orange light glow.
Im lost on these streets below
unable to get my bearings
away from you, teary eyed.

This thick overcoat collar
pulled up high to keep out
your cold fingered breeze
numb through
enough to bring
any man to his knees.
starving myself
of this hunger
for you.
