The night transforms the city
into something new,
a mystery.
Buildings lose detail,
morph into silhouettes,
become imposing,
almost overpowering.
Fallen rain on blackened roads
brings them to life.
City lights pulsate
from car windows.
The ever-present roar
of the autumn storm,
sends peached coloured clouds
across the city skyline.
The Atlantic drift,
one of the few remaining guarantees,
in a world
that is unpredictable.
