Shadows and Silhouettes - 20/06/2000

I see shadows and silhouettes
through my suburban nets,
Window-framed against the early evening sky.
I see the shifting of the trees
sympathising in the breeze,
welcoming the night with a regretful sigh.
I see the mourning of the shrubs
with nonplussed shrugs,
to the day's farewell, adieu, good-bye.
I see rooftops, angular and acute,
almost calculating, astute.
Accepting their prey, day's death is nigh.
