Jul 2010
Shadows overstep the sides of gigantic buildings
Strangers with harrowing looks scatter the streets like marbles
Dusk sets in, awaking the dangerous
Howls and moans escape the dark corners
I stride cautiously through the fog, gripping the edges of my coat
Familiar, this feeling
Scared, alone, unknowing of what to expect
Eyes gaze through filthy windows and follow me as I pass
I don’t remember how to get home
Still, I walk on waiting for that moment of clarity
Waiting for something to come along and remind me where I am
But dusk doesn’t pass
I am trapped in this strange land
And now, it is all I know
