Lamppost

The Lamppost seen in night
Alone out in the cold hours,
Indeed casts halo of golden light
Aware of wild thickets near by
All around—blessed golden light
Strangles; lonely cries echo.
Smoke from tobacco soothes,
Hindered mind, haunted now
Though voices that trample
In an empty space I am here
Watching beams of golden light.
