Friday, the 17th of June
The bass strums another chord that stretches
and echoes into the sunset
The golden sunlight washing over the city
pours down the street
The colours fade and dance in pastel harmony
through the silhouettes of buildings and trees
Waiting for a bus to take me
Windows turn their faces my way and reflect the
dusk settling the main road
And the streetlights flicker on
The weekend is here
People are out
Heading to their own home
Heading to others’ homes
Or nowhere in particular
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as another
week is ending
And my bus arrives
