all-nighter

i smell ash on the early morning air
is it lingering combusted hydrocarbons from last night’s vehicles,
or the embers of the offshore oil refineries?
the world is slowly stirring to life i hear
the first bird calls
the hmmdrmm of vehicles intensifies
the deep indigo of the sky
fades into brighter, brighter blue
the world is tri-coloured now
all azure sky, black tree silhouettes and warm-orange lamp-doused streets
and the world is multi-coloured yet
as the sun begins to rouse
