take control of the night

take control of the night
bite it
like a ripe black apple
till its juice
crackles over your tongue

speak to the night, softly
draw its dreams into your soul
paint your fingers
in blood
across the sky

take control of the night
hold its fire
to your body
like a blindfolded sun
leave your heart as hostage
