dong on target

dong on target

the enamel inverted cone tapers white
where the opal bulb sins against the night  
and so it flies the   the    the 
slingshot                           poomph
and in a whoosh of white dust it dies
drowning the night down from the skies
around the swan necked lamppost dark
and boys oh boys what a lark we planned
when crump the night sits heavy and
in that instant   in that instant 
the boys run for their ‘morrow 
is tomorrow and tomorrow 
and tomorrow's
‘morrow
