Is this a form you made up? I like the way the rhymes work and how the interstitial stanzas are shorter. The rhythm isn't always clean, but mostly so.
My read on it is that the speaker is walking down a street at night and musing how things like the buildings and the artificial light are spoiling nature and supplanting habitat.

I've been keeping up the habit of a half-hour daily walk, which I often take at evening when things are cooler.
On the night of composition, I decided to walk and record any worthwhile thoughts that occurred to me. I wound up with lines of varying length and tried to interleave them attractively, and this is the result. Clouds under the moonlight, quiet houses with their secrets, and endangered habitat were indeed themes that colored my thoughts here. The sodium streetlight behavior is both an accurate description of how it looks and likely metaphoric for mortality and uncertainty about the future, with maybe a hint of transcendence.
Thank you very much for the kind words!
