walking in the back lane



Walking in the back lane
The dim light and shadows
You hear the silence
The quiet lane whispering

You see dogs sniffing
Maybe about left over food
Maybe finding a place to urine
The marks which the dogs leave behind

Sometimes there are cats
Many of them meowing away
The heat of the season
The parade in the night

Occasionally cars may pass by
Revving up the noise in the quiet night
The low voices of the occupants
It's the back lane of shadows and light
