City Heat
The neighborhood has gone to bed
A lonely yellow light peeks out a window
A wary city coyote gives a curious glance
Racoons pick the combination lock on the trash can lid
A feral Tom serenades its purring lover
Street lights offer a dubious trust
As a cradle moon rocks the stars to sleep
A wind chime succumbs to the humidity
