Midnight Shadows
by Liz Szabo '18
I wake
Outside my window,
The street lamps glow
With foggy orange light
Single balls of fire
Encased in glass.
In the night
The sky is gray
A muddy brown orange,
The city sky.
All around me is
Black.
My world
Is in black and white.
I am the only person
Awake in the whole world.
It is a magical feeling,
But I do not like
This kind of magic
Outside my window,
The street lamps glow
With foggy orange light
Single balls of fire
Encased in glass.
In the night
The sky is gray
A muddy brown orange,
The city sky.
All around me is
Black.
My world
Is in black and white.
I am the only person
Awake in the whole world.
It is a magical feeling,
But I do not like
This kind of magic
