August, 2003 Hanging play of street lights Suspended shadow plays Swishing tyre crushes gravel tones Café closing time spilling staggerdly from step swilling last café dukebox crushed into corner alcove where eyepatch man winks blindly Tables strewn with laughter cleared Hanging streetlight shadow plays tricks with magical whimsy night Scattered tables run by river climbing up down, up down Dukebox shudders washing machine clearing the tone clicking needle dripping groove into winking beer grasping melody Car lights dance a lingering waltz swining around corners carressing slumbering tarmac broken life pulse smashed bottle slumped jacket container sighing rasta kid skips on skateboard drink driving streetlights wobble in shadow crash traffic light red blinks a knowing wink rearview mirror lies exhausted 3.15 is now 3.20 shadow play collapsed winking in singing moon
