FROM THE FIRE ESCAPE

I employ myself

into night,

an image

without notice

observing legs

to elsewhere

with overlapping

shadows

passing below,

wondering about

souls dripping

or hearts breaking,

each without

a glance

between them,

a tapestry

of nameless spirits

under lights so

bright

it robs the

glory of stars

as neon’s tempt

the weak into

shelter
