Analysis of The Brightest Light

Ann Ngo 2003 (Brick)



The Clouds Gather Around
There’s a light peeking through the dark
A sprinkle of small white lights decorate its home
The wind pickups
Bright windows go pitch black
The streets are clean without a blur of flashing colors
Cicadas sing lightly in dark corners
Fluffy greys swim around the brightest light in the sky
A plane glides past.
The clouds disperse, around light reveals herself
