The wind blows in my face as I look around…

I can hear tree branches creak and rustle

The echos and howls of the creatures in the night

There is no traffic in sight

I can’t see what’s in front of me, not my hands nor my feet…the fog makes it seem like there is no road or sidewalk or…anything

Where am I? I start to think.

What could I use to protect me?

How did I end up here?

My feet are shaky a...

I know not where I wander.

Though, I can’t help but wonder

If whatever called me, mysteriously

Is also leading me to my destiny.

People tend to call me optimistic,

Overly, specifically, that is,

I don’t disagree. I see opportunity

With every step, everything I see.

I wonder what these people who pass

Surrounding my left, right, and fourth wall glass

Would think about my journey here,

My destinat...

Lights glare in a noir sector of a foreign town

Dark thoughts intrude as the atmosphere surrounds

No map no sense of direction yet the path is clear

Motion blur with a destination unfound

In my skin but out my mind

On the clock but out of time

In the wind while I unwind

Around the block and so benign

Sublime internalizing my exterior

Surreal yet out of control but not inferior

Imperial dreams luci...

As I walk down the busy street

I look around the chaotic city

Lights surround me so beautifully

Green lights send cars speeding by me

I stop and look at the people carefully

Each one has a different story

I don’t stay long I must hurry

Must get home safely

So tomorrow I can see the busy city...

In absence of the sun

Where only streetlights glow

Your feet feel smaller here

The world begins to grow

You are but a tiny speck

In a monstrous cosmos

You can feel it as you move

Through the sludge of dirty snow

Skyscrapers tower over

As they do during the day

But even the carts of vendors

Seem larger in a way

Your shadow is so tiny

In the clock-tower’s watchful eye

Its midnight ticking a re...

It was Jan 8th and my family was moving to another city, so we moved in to a questionable place called Detroit.later after we was done packing it was 9:54pm so we got some rest, later that night I woke up to a disturbing noise, I thought it was nothing so I went back to sleep, I soon later woke up again to a startling screeching noise, it freaked me out so I went to tell my parents about it. I was...

Bright stars on tall poles that flicker

Headlights, brake lights, and animated chatter

Dark streets where rats scatter

Tender is the night...

Light coruscates all around me,

blanketing the area with light as if day.

The air filled with unfamiliar scents,

And a familiar cold that was halting sleep.

Built up to the blackened sky,

Massive screens displaying for the masses to ignore,

Streets littered with garbage,

outlined with the people walking past.

Laughter and smoking,

Whispers and glances.

Anything could be more comforting,

Than w...

The rat raced me to the end of the street.

Young people filled every restaurant crevice.

Carefree laughs filled the September evening

Where am I?

I lived in DC at 18, left, and came back at 27.

Now, I don’t look like these people.

There’s a pudge in my belly

There’s bags under my eyes

My thighs grew.

My patience shrunk.

Thoughts of my 9-5 plague my Sunday night mind.

The DC I knew at 18 was a jung...

The streets are aglow

I bought tickets

To a theater show

Strangers kibitz

New city, new home

Making new friends

Around town I roam

Love the weekends

I was scared at first

But now I’m energized

Prepared for the worst

Was pleasantly surprised...
