Villanelle for Starsky and Hutch
I am your dark and stormy night,
You're my shelter from the evil day.
We shed our blood for what is right
Even when we reach for light,
Even when we try to play,
I am your dark and stormy night.
We spend our time in ceaseless fight
That often nerves from flesh will flay,
We shed our blood for what is right.
My fear for you reflects as flight
Sometimes, though never very far I stray.
I am your dark and stormy night.
Your fear for me makes tempers tight,
Makes you moody, fell and fey,
We shed our blood for what is right.
We hold together, though, despite
The forces that would make us pay.
We shed our blood for what is right,
I
am your dark and stormy knight.
