City Night

Late at night and all around
Hear the baying of the hounds
A sound
That carries to the stars
In town
With silent streets and cars

Dark lit houses line the streets
People out are few to meet
To greet
On the paths star lit
A seat
Under the lamp post sits

Busy streets are now forlorn
For quiet places homes so warm
The alarms
Have since been set to wake
The forms
Of people from sleeping state
