I.
Tavern candles flicker / beyond
silhouette creases / whispering /
"She's here" / as Nightfall creeps /
on tip toes / with shoes clutched /
in Her hands / advancing evermore /
stealing warmth / from Earthen skin /
Tender is the Night / unvarnished /
approaching / unloved / uninvited.
II.
Beijing-made bikes / pedal rapidly /
rotating / with increased speed /
home / finding light's / last
gasps of breathe / minutes left /
they arrive / home / while drunks
stumble / into bars / women /
into stores / searching / like addicts /
for Serotonin hugs / to refill /
and replenish / malnourished minds.
