A light went out tonight
high above a street corner at
the intersection of two roads
you've never heard of.
You didn't notice it flicker like
a winded candle
then fade;
but the city was a bit darker
just the same.
In that same moment
a flashlight
turned on underneath
a fort of pillows and sheets
and Neverland was found again.
You didn't notice the light
trickling underneath
the bedroom door
but the world was a bit brighter
just the same.
