Might the years have betrayed me?
Not that I didn't know her but her
lights knew not the catches of my eye--
mighty concrete behemoths of mid
nineteen hundred something
littered my view in quaint newness while
myriads of roaring metal beasts
not without their own masters
lunged forward in a sea of people...
Mockup shops and street food scents
nudged my wallet into sharing a
little folded bill of blue, all while
market clamour played
next to the banter
lining the streets.
Alas!
More than a humble string of words
nailed on a poem the night hence are needed to
line her canopy of neon lights a
masterful description capable of
nesting all that was there in a neat
lingering thought!
