Dawnings

watching the street

By Nicholas Hooper

side to side they go
I know not where
or why indeed

a walk in the fresh air?
driving to work?
catching the bus?

but all look ahead
as though there is nothing here
where I watch

as the thoughts of others
visible from my lair
make shadows in the air
