Poetry: City nights

by Theo Alexander

Created on: May 06, 2011

Where did the angels go?

The indian soldiers are laughing
The night-time chess players
Move silently

The guitars play desert music
It's all purple haze
Hazey dreaming girls
Dancing on roof tops to slow exciting blues

& the drunkards in drag
In crumbling doorways
The smell of mist!
Old broken apartments
The intellectuals are crying

European strangers
dream of revolutions.
