Darkness everywhere I see
I thought this day would never come
But sadly this is how it would be
And I wouldn't know where it came from

The mist will rise from the ground
With this cold feeling
Everywhere you go it will be around
Probably this thing might be breathing

As the young boy sits in the dark
Slowly a shadow is laying on the floor
And a small dog starts to bark
The boy stands up with his face filled frightness
As if he had seen a movie filled with gore

His parents heard a shout from the room
From that little boy
As if he just met his doom
He was just a boy filled with joy

Now he is gone
Since the time of his fright
It was nice for him and his dog to bond
Eversince that one night

bruises come with ease
when you find yourself pressed between
four walls
and concrete falls
over time, in little pieces unseen
despite your pleas
to bring them down
to keep them up
do you think
you are prepared to tread in open sea
with her winter bite
or will you sink
content, at last, to simply be
out of sight

Look at you
you little ***** bird
hopping on nimble legs
between the outside tables
of that coffee shop
that I like to write in
you dart this way
and that
with a fluid grace
which reminds me
of the body of a beautiful woman
you little ***** bird
picking up crumbs of bagel
from the cracks in the ***** pavement
taking cigarette butts
back to your nest
where ever that is
Monroe park maybe?
oh ***** little bird
I admire you
for being able to possess
such a natural beauty
in the midst of this city
