Nightlight
Capping twenty-eight stories of brick for the pretty
The nightlight for the darkened city
A marker for travelers and wanderers alike
This northern star–our city light
Like a crown for the wealthy who live below
Angelic halo of halogen glow
Bats and pigeons peek on those passing by
For cocktails, movies, or a room for the night
An empty black canvas this view would be
Without the nightlight
We would see just bricks and trees
