Lurid Lights | 2010
In the summer of 2010 I wrote a series of short poems which I compiled into a Visual Sketchbook. This is Entry #20
Just observing the tapestry
that unravels before me
as I steal a few
seconds from my evening
to engage myself
in its company
undeservingly running
to its embrace
seeking a breather --
a moment or two;
just for myself
trying to find
a certain someone
or something
that would tell me “I know…
…I’ve been there too”
as I take notice
of all these beautiful city lights,
think of all the houses
they belong to
and all the other people
who come to discover
that they too,
need to step outside
every once in a while.
