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 24 October 2019

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.
