Standing on the edge of the quay. no light flashes on the water for me. fog in my mind darkness in my eyes. silently screaming for a distant sound. ripple river yellows. rising for a breath of breeding and drowns. stillness overcomes me in the night. listen to the rising water moan. waiting waiting for the nightboat. I'm waiting waiting for the nightboat. shadows all through me shudder away. echo me echo me am I alone. or is the river alive cause it. echoes me echoes me echoes me. I'm waiting waiting for the nightboat. waiting waiting for the nightboat. I'm waiting. I'm waiting waiting for the nightboat. I'm waiting for the nightboat. .
