Downward Trend

Bleak city scenes
outlined 
            by dark shadows
a cat runs
            into an alleyway
which winds its way
               between two 
grey stone apartment buildings
Tired eyes view a dark metropolis
     everyone who has a 
home
           is on the
way there
         the moon casts
its rays
           on the night people
  who (with eyes that pierce the darkness)
         seek out  the
light which is coming soon
      in the all - too - real
morning
