Between Towers

The sun squeezes through
like it almost missed the train--
late and blushing.

It lands on the windows
and suddenly the glass
looks alive.

A crane freezes mid-air,
caught staring at the light.
Clouds hang around…
undecided.

A door slides open.
Someone steps out
into the cool morning air.

Shadows move down the walls
as the light grows stronger.

The city comes awake
bit by bit…
quiet,
unhurried.
