Night train (OR The night is nocturnal)

I watch the night race by
on calloused feet
streetlight eyes
lit up
she leaves cars and
trains full of
tired commuters
in her wake
I watch the sleeping sky
slowly open
millions of starry eyes
and throw her blanket off,
so the darkness falls
over the city

The first title is better.
I liked how even the tone of this was tired and made me tired.
