Wall Street at Night, by Lola Ridge

Wall Street at Night

Long vast shapes.. Cooled and flushed through with darkness..
Lidless windows
Glazed with a flashy luster
From some little pert café chirping up like a sparrow.
And down among iron guts
Piled silver
Throwing gray spatter of light.. Pale without heat..
Like the pallor of dead bodies.
