City Lights

 



The odor of the day fades

night sweeps down,

onto the soiled tarmac

 

Neon signs sell themselves

casting shadows-

the man and man hesitate…

hands untwine.

the women- fidgety eyes

gleaming sweat…. Endorphins

 

Plunge deeper into its heart

Two white teeth, hang loose

inside a limp face.

Stale breath rises

stained walls

Piss and red spit.

 

Starless night heaves

Unable to blow out the

Incandescence of this city

Wanders off to find

someplace where

its black can bleed.
