Out in the dark

One hazy woman
throws out the dregs of leftovers
from the tenement window. Four dogs
come running through the darkened alley,
wary of bloodsuckers. The golden
streetlight hides everything that darkness
could have shown- like those hungry dogs,
like that vampire scuttling veins.

One of these nights when the streets
are half-empty and with no lights,
our feelings like fragrant balls shall collide
and there will be nothing but the
nakedness of
sight.
