Some exquisite imagery here:

“galvanised rain”
“the scent of concrete”
“pooling glass”
“the liquor of darkness”

For me, these phrases evoke the distinctly urban amidst what could otherwise be pastoral scenes. But only in the city can they all be lived out in a single day. And only in the city is there the promise that tomorrow can be exactly the same, but only if you want it to.

I look forward to more of your contributions.

Good verse and good urban sense… An excellent start to my Monday morning!

“Woven stairs and watchful balconies.
Stained-glass in peeling frames.
Wrinkled stone and fired earth.
Shared meals around old tables.”

That’s the neighbourhood I know.

Nice.
