Beyond The Divide

Downwind of the 
Halal Cart
my stomach 
starts to growl

Foreign smells
have filled the air
my appetite 
to prowl 

Those places
I have yet to go
but memory
knows so well

Another life
another time
where Heaven
— sleeps with Hell

(The Corner Of 34th & Market Streets: July, 2025)
