A 3am Walk Home

street lights view
                                                with cruel betrayal
                                                blackened alleys
                                                shadow hidden eyes

                                                lost ones
                                                with dashed hopes
                                                approach in mercies disguise
                                                
                                               faintly foot-steps
                                               of passers by _ _ _
                                               the rushed gate,
                                               a mis-encounter

                                              the light is bright
                                               in sight of home
                                                                         _________ solitude.
