closer to the edge
it’s a dangerous place
a dozen hooded juveniles
snap snap snapping their fingers
on the tip of their toes
dancing choreographically
there’s a jungle within the city
progressing & diverging
adaptations taking place left & right
one band singing a capella
another all electrified
the alleys gather ashes
just as the moon gathers light
midnight winds introducing
unrequited winds
swirling & rising unobserved
hunger awakens the mind
whether at sunrise or high noon
invisible hands motioning
this way to the next show
desiring to audition you
september two thousand twenty
