The Streetlight

Pulsing in the night
A little broken streetlight
Fighting feebly with darkness
A small hearbeat
Punching holes
In an atrotious blackness
Stamping its will to live

Decades later 
Three Everest conquerors 
Put a bouquet on its grave
They carve an epitaph 
"Thank you for your light
You saved us in the dark."
