Something Is Happening Under the Moon

Perpetual haze
surrounds the city
    we'll walk until
we reach our goal
     The urban scence in winter
fills us with anticipation
         the winds chill us 
As streetlamps cut 
          through the night
  like a sharp knife through 
bread
      Passing homes filled with
warmth
            and mysterious alleyways
where alleycats prowl
    It's not the destination
which is the main thing
     It's the struggle to reach it
which counts - weighs heavily 
    tipping the scales of
winter 
        in our favor
