Night Walk
Rain slicked streets glisten
Neath yellow stains of light
Silent save the splash
Of random steel phaetons
Moving stealthily to or from
Goddesses of the dark
Wait in the shadows
Dressed to entice
Street seduction
Painted faces, pasted smiles
Paradise Cafe
Sentry of the city
Neon lights
Crackle, flicker
Suggest safe harbor
Stale breezes
Scurry through foul alleys
Permeate the dark
Assault the senses
Amble down the street
Alcohol fueled dreams
Emanate from doorways
Cardboard castles
Remnants of lives broken
Derelict ambitions
Night Walk
