Ashen landscapes form the backdrop
to the fog-drenched city.
One blow and it's dust.
Late night taxis swirl
like Saturn's belt -
piercing the canvas.
A sense of urgency,
in the engine's hum,
provides the bass
for the metropolitan musical.
The TransPennine's thrum from Meadowhall
offers the lo-snare.
A collective tap of heels
where neon lights flicker
over grim iron doors,
transfers
tonight's promotions
to varnished pavements.
Light strikes
upon night's result
and casts shadows to their corners.
