fading light

cigarette butts pile
spill from the lip
of a rusty coffee can
beside milkcrate seats

orange dusk clouds flow
drifting east
then south over New York

moon rises slow
over boy scout trees
crossroad traffic slows
motel lights dim 
click 
off

  4. You are so good at creating a scene the reader can visualize. I especially like the motel lights dimming, then clicking off.
