Photograph 1: Arclight

the sodium arc light hums 
into the frosted night
Bathing all in acidic 
sickly amber that of a toxic wound, 
splashing through the skeletal trees 

the snow flies on invisible currents 
snow drifts glow in that sickly yellow 
the wind is sharp cutting 
the branches dance 
there in the night 
there in the harsh street light 

a shadowed figure standing 
just out of sight its flock cloak 
flapping absently in the wind
