Grand Central

The city crawls with wheels; itself moves beneath you

Serpents two blocks long breathe people in

Sing their same song- A, E no I but try 3

And emerge, eyes shut, to the light of a night sun

to cool and sleep but keeps it secret

because she says she never sleeps

She found me there at the corner

Standing still on the moving streets of a breathing beast

Holding tight to shifting letters and lines

Numbers like vines

Swing me downtown to bring me up

To meet pigeon swagger keeping the beat

Rhythmically I listen for love in the glistening noise and

constancy of feet-

A needle in a 'Hey'stack

Small Sure True

A glint of pure you illumes a spire

A scortch of fire

And I'm inspired

To Flight

here beneath shadows buildings cast

And statues cast upon buildings

In shadows I cast my own light

And the marble lady just told me

That beauty is old yet ever new

So I throw glitter in the street

In celebration of you
