Feeling Down in London with Lonelyklown

The night bus pierces the dark. It cuts a path under the arch of Suicide Bridge. Ghosts lie on the road. The old man looks down and sees their traces. Outlines in chalk that never fade. The bus rolls through police tape it cannot see or break. Over the traces, accented by the rain. The forecast is overcast. Closing time in London.
