The Deserted Lane

A cold winter windy night
back from the last cinema show
the lane in sleeping mode
wearing the walls of brick and mortar
like a woolly blanket

The Northwind blowing in through gaps
like water gushing out of a large pipe mouth
hitting the closed window glasses
not looking at the eyes of street dogs
snuggling along the sidewalk 

To reach my flat in a jiffy
in the housing society
the waiting bed and double quilt
slipping into and closing eyes
my world now topsy-turvy
