Not tonight.

had this moment few hours back
on the rooftop
with the moon hanging up, a clear sky,
coldness
as if I stepped into another world,
only it were here

stood there for a minute with my hands
on the railing
I looked ahead and around
the streetlights were functional again
and they made the roof lit up brightly,
only few squares of sweet spot left
that was completely in dark

I had this thought of lying down
on the floor with my face up

but all that god damned brightness

I waved the thought away
and walked downstairs,
locked myself in my bedroom
for the rest of the night.
