A Performance

A Performance Bricks lay down precipitously low under the layered rain Between the cracks drops gather wet then wash away On nights glitter, lights pour out, dim and gentle An observer seen on high, a roof top and small man lean over low An unusual occurrence like a performance comes about Below, evolved, a place is picked out to mark the spot The destination is the ground with people waiting, watching Storm warnings thunder, lightning scratches weary eyes Who cares which way the wind blows now He goes over without a sound When all is said and done the audience applauds Rain continues down, cleans up the street People retreat into the recesses, cracks Back under the rocks from where they came from
