Dogs

Dogs

A Poem by The River Man

A cold alley way

Crumbling to dirt

Dark and wet air

Hosting long reflections

Of rainy street lights

Beside rotten picket fences

 

How things appear much sharper in the cold

A smell and a sound stand alone as silhouettes in the air

The scent of resting rain

And the cold wailing wind

Carry a nocturne of barking dogs

Through out the oblivious night sky
