DANCING AT THE TRAFFIC CONE SHRINE:

Some kind of spiritual axiom. Better than a lie of the mind
or a kick in the teeth.

As voices arrive falls silent with the news, hand-to-mouth.

Stone cold stone, not alone beneath a familiar street lamp.

A car emerges from the dark laughing, parks up, look away.
The night remaining innocent, trembles. Witnessing repeats.
