crossing the bridge 

dark 6:30pm

the buildings being built

are lit up like paper lanterns

I like seeing the ones without glass

or skin just a stack of cement cubes

threaded with cords so

a lamp on a wire is framed by each empty square

From the bridge i see the shapes of buildings drawn by twinkling stars, 

evenly-spaced and evenly-twinkling, brighter than the lights in the built buildings 
because of their pinpointedness and being open to the air

and i like seeing the ones wrapped up in plastic
so the light mother-of-pearls
