Midnight

By Max Michelson


From “May in the City” MIDNIGHT. The air is still,
And yet there seems to be a sound
Brooding in it, tearing. I hear it
With all my quivering body
But not with my ears.	5
Suddenly it bursts—muffled, hoarse, detached
From any earthly object.
It is spring
Charging through the night.
