City stars look like birds.

Last night, they flew away
to the city far away.

I write this city book (a diary);
With mean pages of I pity and communist saints.

Last night,
I lay awake;
I heard the night mumbling.

The words-
the words wouldn’t fly;

I wanted to write them down;
But the critic on my skin
kept on giving me empty air.

The night wind made many sounds;
It eventually dropped my words.

My words hit ground-
Between the paper and a poet-
There lays a kingdom in my mind- a creation.

On the horizon, I drift into poetic speech;
It flees into night glory.
The city stars like birds (when they flew away, last night)
They dove deep into my guts.

I am - as the night calls me - a bird flying -
- into the horizon.

My spirit is melting on paper.

I enjoyed the write, especially this:

I wanted to write them down;
But the critic on my skin
kept on giving me empty air
