The music has ended <br />but the drunken fool <br />continues to sing, <br />lurching violently through the night <br />under a crazy moon. <br /> <br />He is out of tune <br />and his words are slurred; <br />he breathes heavily, <br />his breath stinking in the night air. <br /> <br />His voice penetrates the darkness <br />under a sky studded with stars <br />until at last the canopy of night falls over him <br />and crushes out his life.<br /><br />Rory Hudson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-song-in-the-night/
