A Liquid Pool of Night

I carried a liquid pool of night in my pocket In a glass tied with black ribbon There it lay, snug and tight The day was overly long The night was due I reached inside my pocket Took out the glass tied with black ribbon Poured out some liquid night and watched the suns' changing hue Tied with a ribbon, velvet and dark Strewn with stars I carried a pool of liquid night In my pocket There it lay Snug and tight Awaiting for tomorrows' night
