Hellectric Light (Peter Elliott)

Eastern skyline
Deepens blackness
Spurring street-lights
Jolted
To life
Again.

Eyes away
See city centre
Airy water-colour
Softly fairy-tale
Till they get close.

Screaming
Jarring
Pain-hammer
Neon
Bombarding harsh
Flourescent
Be-wilderment

Through discordant
Glass sheet panes
Radiating
From shallow Plastic Fgures
Unfeeling enticing
Buy-here  Buy-now
Want - Desire

Till I
Totter falter - dazed -
Somehow make it
Bombed out  overpowered
To the cool gardens

Where darkness
Breathes
'Midst spongy trees
Fading
Into velvet
Dew-lined
Sky
