Cityscape

The air is full here.

It presses, hums, and screams
with energy from thousands of souls.
Even silence fills the porch,
weighted and whole,
and a lingering potpourri of sweat,
exhaust, and asphalt
mixes with the trees and river.

I'm drawn to the mating call of the city;
a symphony of sirens,
a spellbinding serenade of crowds,
traffic, and life.

To belong, simply take a bath
in the yellow lights that wash the streets each night.
