Fire escapes, pink neon lights flashing, always slick with rain, crouched and watching the gleaming cars below Ballrooms dripping in gold and coral, strips of lace left behind, laughter floating through the empty rooms Rain forests so lush your body feels overdressed in clothes, moss under foot, muscle memory from another time New York hotels strewn with cigarettes and adorned with fey boys and girls in white shirts and black skinny ties, draped over red carpeted staircases Cafe’s strung with exposed lightbulbs, cobblestone paths leading to the river, espresso and honeysuckle fill the air, as whisperers of what it is to truly live brush past your ear Thread worn carpets in cabins hung with dried herbs, sunlight pouring in making fantasy from dust motes Terra-cotta cottages painted like gingerbread houses, palm trees swaying slightly, pink frosted lips tasting of cotton candy and salt water All my lives All here for the viewing if you know how to look Tilt your head Unfocusing your gaze like my eyes are lights on your Christmas tree Lean in “Hello there”
