Sleepy moon beams kiss the morning sky
Goodbye, as they slip into the cerulean on
High.
I’d been walkin all night, the morning air
Unwinding the curls from my tangled hair. As I drug
My emotions through potholed streets.
Tires crunching sand the sweepers missed,
Sliver boxes clicking the lights from green to
Red, steam clouds rise in a royal ascension
Bathing passers by in a ghostly hue.
Pulling my coat tightly I slipped though
Their procession unnoticed, ears pressed to phones,
Eyes lowered to ground, hands gripped on purse straps.
I sit watching the wisp of early risers become a
Thunderous herd or late risers walking nowhere.
I’d been walkin all night, the morning air
Damp against my face, cool and electric
Condensing on my cheeks, dripping down
My face where my tears should be. If I
Won’t cry for myself most certainly the morning air
Will do it for me.
