Poetry: New York City

New York City



She calls to me,
This wonderful old girl,
With her hair upswept,
And her banners unfurled.



Her skirts are wide,
With diversified pleats,
Accented by peoples
Who march to her beats.



Her breath is of heaven,
And history of old,
Her eyes filled with hurt,
And of stories untold.



Her hands they do beckon,
Their calluses rough,
To come share the lives,
Of her meek and her tough.



Ah, New York City,
With your siren call,
We rush to your side,
That you should not fall.

    we dileberated
    through the night
    over the idea
    that we were
    going nowhere fast.

    Misty rain haloed street lights
    Illuminating hunched up people walking fast
    A chill wind lifts debris, looks, then snaps them
