A Homeward Journey 7#

The evening bus is silent.
The darkness holds our tongues.
The landscape passes smoothly
and is spattered sparsely by the sun.

An hour rolls by so solemn.
The black of night descends.
The landscape's pricked with streetlights;

glowing pinheads seem to never end.

Seemed to never end I thought,
until suddenly we arrived.
The evening bus still silent;

just darkness and some lives.

The hissing door it opens.
The other stand to leave.
But I just sit politely;
politely sit and breathe. 

Soon comes my turn to venture out.
I shuffle towards the cold.
The evening air is silent;


the darkness chills my soul.
