the city hums a lullaby of sirens a concrete cradle
of restless dreams.
the moon’s rays draw silver stripes on asphalt,
each reflecting a minute universe
and lone stars in puddles mirror
distant galaxies.

laughter – spilling through a fire escape, a sprinkle
of joy against the rustic background of forgotten
stories

the smell of spices from her apartment mingles with exhaust fumes.
a scent profile created from
lives unseen. stories
untold.

time stretches and folds and
accordion-like minutes
are measured in
troubadour’s melodies

cities breathe – inhaling memories and exhaling ignorance
i breathe. and so does my
neighbor.
