Leaving the City Where He Lives

 

As the orange sun casts it glow upon this city

Standing

Majestic 

In the light,

I accelerate, foot on the gas,

No longer shrouded by the cover of night.

I take one last look as it drops out of sight 

Because it, like his arms, will never be home to me,

An old, familiar feeling that repeats freely 

Like the columns connecting the overpass

And the waves beneath it as they kiss the grass.
