Silent City Night The street is bare empty and free of life Silent City Night
A man
adjusts his
cardboard box
A young woman waits by the phone Silent City Night
The poUce one
last
A man neon
patrol
time
turns off his
lights
Silent City Night
No
Christmas exits
because of hatred for the life they live Silent City Night
The
line is
long for
the Christmas feast
consisting of our leftovers Silent City Night
A girl waits at the comer hoping
to get
enough so
she can eat Silent City
And here is
pulled
real
Night
the curtain
away
to the
Christmas Eve
Silent City Night
