Arms loose, by my sides sensing nothing, coated
Feet fall, in steps walked before by many soles,
City streets flow thick with cars slow-death bloated,
Eyes seek relief, from metal bright musing Soul,
In the shadows, scent and see and touch, lost worlds.

5 X 11 syllables = Landay, per today NaPoWriMo prompt
On my FB I did a more 22 syllable Landay style as 9 syllables first line and
13 second line and a picture
Landay was used by farmers and others initially and it has been made more famous in poetry by Afghani Women
