Jeanette Clough
I am surrounded by streets
half dark, half lit, by high rises
sheathed in metal and glass,
and marbled with neon-veined red.
The city’s body is full of miracles
and sad majesty, drunk
from 24-hour light, so much,
cast onto familiar sidewalks
where I, among the arcades,
the eloquent columns
grown from asphalt,
among the sirens, am lost.
