Angels' Lights

The church clock chime midnight.
Her daddy's not home yet,
The moonlight and streetlights
Break the cold, consistant darkness.
People stroll from darkness into light
And out again.
This povert stricken city is home
And from her tiny, shabby bedroom
Through the grimy, broken window
She looks up at the vast, black sky
But sees no stars. Light pollution.
She has never known the stars
Never clearly seen the angels' lights.
Her stars are but the headlights of cars
Speeding towards unknown detinations.
The traffic light turns from red to green.
One car roars to life.
Light glints of tinted windows.
Daddy comes round the corner
Walking between light and dark.
"Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight."
Nearly home now. In the shadows now.
"I wish I may, I wish I might"
The church clock chimes half-past now.
"Have the wish I wish tonight."
Daddy's lying crumpled on the ground now.
