Winter Sunset.

Dogs barking,
Cars roaring by like burning metal meteorites,
Loud conversation of African women,
The traffic never stops,
A car horn at the yuppie’s gate,
Dogs bark again
(Distant barking.)
A world of anger like the setting sun,

If tomorrow comes…
Alone among a million souls,
Night falling,
And the silence…

JP Brown – 18/07/2007.
