City Streets....

The city streets beckon

I walk desolate paths

No one around.

Silences are echoing inside

my brain.

The odd neon sign

still lit and buzzing in time

to the stillness.

The odd nocturnal wildlife. I spot

from a fox to a badger even.

On my travels home early morning

4 am.

It is starting to drizzle with raindrops

up me. I pull my collar up around my

bare neck. And feel it's warm against

my skin.

The infrequent car or taxi passing

me by. As I am on foot. I walk briskly and

breath in the night musky air.

To fill my lungs

then exhale again with a splutter and

a little chuckle to myself.

I see pigeon eating some

stale pizza leftovers

from an overturned rubbish bin

They see me and flypasts.

I look up and see a full moon. And think.

Their is beauty and calmness in a peaceful

city even when everyone is asleep in bed.

Even thou, I think the exact same thing

myself tucked up inside my own warm cosy

bed real soon too.
