a night enthralled
with a rhythmic banter
clashing and pulverizing
a sound scape ricocheting
as the lights glow like a mischievous smile

the dark blanket of night filling
the empty spaces,
hand in hand the frigid air and
cracked concrete
crackle, sigh, bellow

a cat peeking around the street corner
a sticky glass of drink
the shaking of limbs and teeth
this night the house
collide with sound
