Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Glowing In the Shadows

The city seems
so unreal at night
    Shadows painted 
on so many faces
Streetlights light up the 
roads
      of the asphalt 
homeland
   a young man and woman 
embrace
  protecting each other
         against 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
