Night Patrol

Daydreams seen through fractured panes
half glimpsed half thought nightshift refrain.
Footsteps soft on walkway high
dawns brush lightens eastern sky.
Turn collar shrug against the cold
this solitary night patrol.

Eyes cast phantoms from their sight
at edges gathered through the night.
This locus drawn and so defined
permits nil tolerance of such kind.
Co-ordinates mapped, conditions known
let fear and doubt be overthrown.
Turn collar shrug against the cold
maintain, maintain, this night patrol.
