"O wild and wondrous midnight,
There is a might in thee
To make the charmed body
Almost like spirit be,
And give it some faint glimpses
Of immortality."
-James Russell Lowell, Midnight
City nights have no howling wolves, except for the ones inside you. Some people have learned to tame them, and gotten them to perform tricks. For in the darkness things have a new light. The stars bring along their magic. It lurks behind the moonlight, hiding behind an innocent facade of mere solitude.
