R-T-A
I
wet road
street lamps turn to paint:
red, green and amber
smeared across tarmac
II
black moon texture at eye level
sucking heat
etching stone, face and heart
III
blue lights flash off
post and tree, glass leaps
from black to white to black dazzle
IV
the siren caws: too late too late
quiet now
the knock at someone’s door
