Walk

Entombed in stillness, air empty and senseless

surreal scenes of sterility; desolate and numb,

familiarity confronting; redefining sense of self

mind painfully alert, despite hour said to bewitch

Street lamps chasten ego as they pass overhead

glistening roads moist and uncertain under foot,

haze obscures seaward glance; objects unknown

restless sleep on eve of sunrise, only certainty.
