Yet Another Night

Shutting the glaring screen,  on to the street he  emerges under the sky clothed  in the  the dusky colours Of twilight Crossing the children hiding and seeking under the streetlight's glow, he gazes at the Town's madness  At the crossroads  he watches the blessed head home, and the wrecked loitering the pavements making choices for the night Walking into a tavern he crouches in a dingy corner Holding  the sour drink Swigs and fills...swigs and fills  All of life's bitterness washed down the throat  his head grews heavy in a toxic joy Into the late-night darkness  he emerges staggering on the Street  hung head swinging across  he finds the way in the absence of light
