The sunset drives in the city
The moon takes off in flight
What fades to sullen shadows
Loses direction in the night.
Hearts left under streetlamps
Packaged with a bow
Waiting for redemption
In an ambivalent amber glow.
Questions pace the pavement
Fueled by expectations
Disappointment douses out
The flames of fabrication.
Escape sits on a rooftop
With dreams yet to be met
Tomorrow-chase the sunrise
As a sentimental silhouette.
