New Poem - Long Spires

Long spires


The cars glide placcidly down

the centre of Great Darkgate street

and the sickly hint of moon

hanging on to the hillside

lends a sticky yellow light to the town

not so much a rain as a falling mist

dampening the rooftops

contributing to the drainpipes rust

as the walls wear down

and the green that grows

makes its way to the road henpecked

by groups of folks or pigeons

minding their steps

as they walk zig-zagged across

parked car and motor zone

as lost as leaves and the towering

of rain-spattered long spires
