Circles of Light 

 

I’d walked down the street many times

and not noticed them 

in both day and night time. 

I’d driven down many times 

and not noticed them 

in both day and night time 

Such innocuous road markings 

seen so often they become unseen. 

But tonight I saw the street from above

and saw how the trees lights lit up the markings

in orange and blue circles moonstruck

like an art installation 

painting circles of light 

and making the ordinary 

into extraordinary.
