Saturday 10 February 2024

On the corner, across from the statue

Soft, golden, free

And only one day older

Than yesterday

A still night, quiet and steady

Under halogen and sodium light


To stop and caress

Fondle

The old worn gateposts

Shorn of historical reference


Would you, feel this moment

In your own existence

Would you

Resist the urge to race along


Then reflect why don’t you

On the quiet time

The free, and soft, and golden

Those still nights under the street lights
