Boston bound
in a smooth, gun-gray
harbor of rusted
lamprey eels
sucking green algae,
brown blood,
the scum
of drowned murders,

Old lamps around old hotels
like cold holes growing, glowing...
a burnt umber aria
opera bravura,
under pencil-thin bone umbrellas
in the damp blue naked rainfall
down the cobblestone dark alley-way
autumnal night,


Where you
never are.




~Inspired by legacy.

Such a leap ...and there goes that gun gray again...as if the bullets of imagination are rapid enough to catch a midnight sniper's eyes before they snuff out the lights....bone-breaker exercise; a tip of the hat in inspiration...top stuff

The taste of city reigns, it speaks volumes in such soft tone. Pounding through my bones I love it.

Beneath these words the macabre stalks silently, "growing, glowing..." This is a real head-pounder with a killer ending screaming of lonliness and homicide. Excellent as always, Jon =) -Carl

Both this and legacy, just amazing. This could start a lavine of city poetry. I'd love to see that. If all people were as good writers as you two *Grins*
