Glowing In the Shadows
The city seems
so unreal at night
Shadows painted
on so many faces
Streetlights light up the
roads
the asphalt
homeland
a young man and woman
embrace each other
against the darkness
As the city
dwellers grow weary
lights go dim
In their homes and apartments
the night people wait
for dawn
which signals the
end
of their nocturnal
escapades
