The road is quiet
Patches of dry tar
Patches of clear sky
A faint scent of eucalyptus
Dim streetlamp
A lone man stands
Peacefully smoking
Occasional puff of smoke
Content with himself
Looking at the sky
A parked car
As though sleeping
To wake up at dawn
And break the spell
But for now,
The road is quiet

this poem makes me real uneasy....
the recurring motif of streets and streetlights is interesting to observe
@aneesh: yes, i thought of all three poems while walking [peace and peace II on the same road in fact and in those conditions]
