Half-Moon

Majella Cullinane


Birds
like fluorescent bats flitter
across the sky,
past the long windows
of apartment blocks

where light
          from street lamps peep
and weary tenants
return to closed doors.

Between trees
the night's stillness
bends its neck

listening for secrets hidden
in the burgundy plum paint
of a stranger's wall.
