NO FLASHLIGHT

I can only love those dark hills
because I live in the day.

I can only see the mountain
because I live in town.

I only (claim to) love night
because I have only smelled it.

Actually living in the night means not talking about it.

I can only say 'no flashlight'
because once I accidentally forgot it.

Actually living in the night means actually walking
in the dark, means

to find caves in song.
