City Street Lights

City Street Lights Soft yellow eyes peek down cluttered alleys sad candle like glow for dumpster diners. Children hurry home at street light curfew drawn to the aromatic kitchens glow. Blue lights of limos cruise the downtown lanes basking in the cold fluorescent neon, glaring invitations to fine dining precursor to the evenings rising tide. Harbor ferries bob like Chinese lanterns gentle beacons adrift on loving’s sea, edged by arcing glow of throbbing city ablaze against the crushing cone of night. TARNDAI John G.
