As the City Sleeps

I mourn. For the houses, as their lights die out. One, by one. I stop. I start to see… Through the other side of glass, as the city sleeps at night.

Your poem seems to embody the quiet of a nighttime city. It is a pleasure to read.

Dear Kate, I work in the city but leave in the suburbs and yes the city is alive in the day and sleeps into the night. I loved your cute poem! - Blessings, MY Dear Friend, Daniel
