After Hours

Lamp-glow glints off ‘ street

     Bar lights dark--all silent now

          Homeless pull tight sheets

This haiku is all the more poignant during the pandemic. The bar lights are dark, but being homeless is even worse. Did you mean to use the apostrophe between "off" and "street"? Was "a" the omission? Even if, not sure you need it. Hope you and yours are fine.

Beautiful simplicity :) I like it. Thank you for sharing

Exquisitely five times seven times five and, every line true .. you've said more in those few words than some would say in a book. A third line tragedy.
