lonely city

when the day is done  
I come home and I like the quiet  
and the fizzing foamy kitchen  
and the dingy grey light  
the china patterned table cloth  
a dreary afternoon fogged
with sages, blues and porcelains too  
cut only by the soft cylindrical  
beam of light  
emanating from a tea candle  
the city outside respirating through open windows  
its breath the smell  
of a soaked and slacken city
