urban night

in this night there is a fire
hot like tears and blood
not yet spilt
boiling

two men a at a terminal

_________train comes

one gets on
the second turns, walks
_________________up
___________________the stairs

into the cool night air
not today, not today...
trudge, trudge, trudge
his heel rolls a stone out of the way
it hits a CAN
he tenses

from the window on the right
a couple making love

one foot follows the other
streetwalker calls out "are you lonely"

it's not her he wants to taste
there is a certain door
he needs
as he passes the dark hole _________of another station...

more trains there
but not today.
bums urinating on the
_________________wall.

from memory
one turn, a few steps
turn again at the
____________corner
electricity hums through the wires
by the post where the old dance stops
damn THIS night, THAT train
door opens before he knocks
like she always does
