Selected Poems
she sleeps like an angel
she sleeps like an angel
lights beam from open windows
the night closes around us
street lights glow from miles away
red lights on skyscrapers warn planes
flashing off and on
like a lullaby
saying everything is safe
the sky is shades of blues and purples
drowning in a muck of smog
clouds dance in the starless sky
sirens echo from the south off the concrete
youths sit outside an apartment
talking and laughing
in a language all their own
the city night is calming with all her
distractions and 3 million people
the wind speaks to me
tells me to go to bed
the sun is coming all to soon
I fold the curtains back
step inside
melt into
the darkness
