The streetlight hums, splitting the light
Criminal versatility hides from the spotlight
The ice cracks, melts and freezes over tonight
Ruffled birds peck one last snack before taking flight
A shadow drifts silence, avoiding sight
The wind's laughter low, drifting might
The pavement recalls each echo of tonight
While time folds itself, erasing the fright
The branches sway restless, their bones held tight
Windows reflect crooks grinning in delight
A stray wolf moves slowly, surrendering the fight
And dawn waits in silence, refusing what's right
The sky bleeds its rays, dissolving the night
The street fades to whispers, retreating from sight
The ice holds its secrets in shimmering white
And morning arrives, their secrets come to light
