Way past midnight

Walking down my dimly lit sidewalk,
way past midnight.  
It stretches out in front of me
forever,
a portal of tress and hedges,  
fading straight on and on
and on, into endlessness…  
a tunnel vision I walk,
through pheromone tow away zones
and stray cat alleys,
towards my bedroom.

A grey silhouette
is approaching
out of my tunnel ,
walking a bicycle...  
He is far away, in ebbing light,
growing slowly…..  

my feet plod along my pavement,
as this stranger closes in,
closer, then closer….

Now I hear, he sings a quiet song,
while pushing his bike, along,
with a basket of, belongings,
and I can feel that he, is afraid of, who I might be,
alone on our darkly lit, endless path,
passing by,
way past midnight.
