and then ...

and then that orange glow
that extends no further than 
the cross bar of the lamppost 
that holds a bicycle tyre above

and then the pub with no lights
hiding around the corner with
shotgun galvanised shutters perforated 
like a string vest smoking in the
moonlight of an age 

and then
