A Night View


In my calm room on the 12th floor
shut by the clear glass doors,
I am viewing outside.
where the heavy sky canopies.

Lights of cars crossing to both directions
on the overpass of the highway
drawing a gently sloping arc
just below my eyes.

The train passing
under the overpass.

Illuminations of
the neon signs of the shopping streets and
the lights from so many building windows.

A big condominium building under construction
wholly covered by sheets in darkness
diagonally below on the east.

In a couple of months,
this view of the illuminations from here
will be utterly changed.
