The lights flicker
shape-shift,
immerse the
street before me
engulf the people
blur their faces
like melting
candle wax
teal, urban-grey
starred lights
glisten
disorientate
vapour falling
miraging
the cityscape
re-defining
the world for an
instant.

You are such a `natural' Beeme. Where does your imagery come from I wonder? I particularly like the last two stanzas. xx

Thank you fatboy, means a lot especially as I found this ending quite tricky :-]
