Neon Lights on Spanish NightsA Poem by Hugh OliverAmber glows on the verges of roads.
A silent buzz of dulled lights and electricity The anticipation of life sprung from nothing A feeling of something Yet to happen in a strange paradox of peace
Walking, absorbing, and the reeling of a city at night. The mosquito bite and threat of daylight A warmth in darkness, snug and safe
The foxes’ startled eyes The dustbins lined up on each street corner The inaudible and full life emanates from houses and homes On these empty streets, You alone, have freedom to roam
One's thoughts become so clear and loud, I walk these streets, by rote, and sights. In the comely bask of Neon lights on Spanish Nights. © 2015 Hugh Oliver |
