Alone in the City

Walking down a foreign street at dusk, the air is sweet and crisp.

The ring of a thousand voices and car engines echo in the spring sky above.

The aged buildings of bricks and mortar, made of stone and sweat tower above you. You are a mere ant in this abyss.

You have a destination to keep, a time to meet.

You are on your own, looking at the people walking by, wondering just for a second – where do they go? What do they do?

 – it fascinates you.

‘Aged buildings of bricks and mortar, made of stone’

One of the first poems I ever wrote.
