Steps In the Night

I took a walk last night 
among tall lamp posts 
studded stars in the heavens 
flashlight radiation from 
passing cars 
a walk last night 
pavement slamming 
           echoing against 
silent homes and allies 
a walk last night 
old friends 
old loves 
seashore swept silently away 
forbidden ground exposed 
caves of childhood long 
                          forgotten 
walking in the night 
Insomnia, Me
and no one else 
streets empty, lonely 
the town a reflection 
I took a walk at night
