the back lane


The man walks at the back lane
In the night after his night shift
The street lights shining bright
The black dogs watching him

He hums a song
A tune he knows best
Blowing with the wind”
The cool night breezing him

He looks at his watch
It has passed midnight
He walks a bit faster
He feels the chill of the night

He passes a few houses
The darkness he sees...
He holds no interest
He just passes by

He stops at a corner house
When he hears moaning echo
He pricks his ears to listen
He thinks he may imagine

There is dim glow
The streets light further away
The spreading light outlines shadows
He stops by the concrete wall

The buzzing insects
Flying around to watch
He leans on the wall
Eyes searching in the shadow

The camouflage of palm trees
The shadows move in unity
On the manicured grass...
The shadows play in tandem

The curves of the shadows
The flow of waves hitting the shore
The constant flow of movements
It delights his mind as he watches

He stands watching
The time moves along
The mosquitoes make contact
He curses under his soft breath


He takes out his handphone
Slowly he begins to video them
The naked shadows rowing along
In the open dark dim light

He still hears the soft moaning
A woman soft purring of sexual delight
He hears the pounding of flesh on flesh
As the insects keep buzzing at his ears

The man checks his watch again
He is late for his midnight rendezvous
He is to meet his girlfriend at the food stalls
She seems far out of his mind at the moment

He looks into his video recording
He records what he wants to see
He moves away smiling to nobody
Some people just want to display

He hums his tune again
Blowing with the wind”
The naked couple hear it
They get up to see

A man walking away
Humming a tune they recognize
Did he see us honey?”
I have no idea”

The night lightning suddenly appear
They quickly dressed up and go inside
Strong wind blowing through
Then the rain come suddenly

The night becomes dark and wet
The man walks to an empty house and wait
The two black dogs keep watching him
Don't do anything stupid!”

The man checks his watch one more time
He curses himself for his delayed meet
He takes his handphone auto-dial her number
I get caught in the rain”
