At The Beginning Of A Winter

strangely the environs
wore a deserted look
though it's homeward-time
on a mildly chill road
a vehicle or two passed
by us on that early evening
as gentle and visible
darkness descended

we walked in silence
on either side of the ambling road
nothing really pressing upon us

we assured the other
of one's presence
as we once in a way
...looked at each other!
