Close of the Day

CLOSE  OF  THE DAY



Another evening void
Of friends or lovers
Ending in the well lit 
Road silent down
To the gut bridge
No cats no traffic
Tarmac surface curving
Down and right
Lots of space without movement
Windows unlit doors unopen
Belisha beacon invites
Its call unanswered
Beer can empty
Rolls in the breeze
Rattles down to the bridge
Waiting to be crushed flat
Under a tyre to end
Its random wandering

Well, this is stupendous. It is also rather random like a beer can rolling down to the bridge and I've stepped nonchalantly onto it's rattling echo and crushed it under my velvet paw.
