The Colors of Night (Policelight Pictures)

Blue…
    Wet slickness of pavement
    Shiny clear mirror of shopwindow.

    Red…
        Still forms bent in new shapes
        Stopped bodies caught in mid-flight.

        White…
            Strobeflash of photograph
            Next morning’s breakfast.

Blue…
    Faces in the streetlights

    Red…
        Dying taillights

        White…
            Shapes under worklights.

Blue…
    Red…
        White…

And gone.
