Standing on the platform waiting for
the last train
The 2 am Southbound is still a mile away and
I'm the only one waiting on it.
A few blocks East
someone is closing down a bar
Above my head, several pigeons are sleeping
under the eaves
The end of my dart burns amber, then black
until finally
grey ash
drops to my feet,
without a sound
thank you to haqiqat for the title/inspiration
