"Drops of My Heart in the Sidewalk"

I'd love nothing more
--in this crooked and plastic world--
than to see your nerve ends
meet the watchful
and ominous
silver
sky

***

I'm in your hallway
haloed by a bare bulb
and 700 glass bottles
let me know babe
if you can surround me

**

Luna moth
please don't follow me
down to Midnight Row

**

can you drink
the dusk
when the nightwatchmen come
with their lights?

I liked the last stanza. I totally just forgot what line it was I liked. Lol. It said something about drinking light. I think. I would love to know the meaning behind this one lol
