L seems to have a touch of Gothic or HP Lovecraft here -is it a Sutton 
thing? :-)

Last scenery passes, dissolving

into the spreading dusk, trying now

it might seem, to enforce an entry

to the mind of this silent observer,

a penetration carrying sunlight

or what is left of it, in suspension.



We go on quietly through a thickening gloom

to find our sign-posted destination.



Having arrived, we get out of the car,

separating ourselves from it and the noise

which we make in it on it creaking springs

and other mettle, standing on Earth's surface,

ill-fitting doors banging as we close them

in topographical architectures

of sound, which one might easily ignore

not by inattention but in focus

upon smaller and immediate details

of a less coherent construct of the world

than those which we've dreamt up and used so far

suggestive of a great antiquity

but only from a standpoint localised.



As individuals' movements dominate,

sentimentality may soon suspend.



We walk to our hotel, hearing ourselves

do so in a blinding vista, each watchful,

though not with that much co-ordination,

which could seem impossible without clatter

yet our space is filling with sonic light.
