Demi - Paradise
DEMI - PARADISE
I love stepping out in the morning, even going to work.
The air is clean and the town is quiet with no traffic.
If the snow’s been falling I don’t see the trash in the murk.
Stillness like dawn in Eden is perfect, almost photographic.
Purity and innocence in the city streets for a moment.
Childlike delight in footprint and fog-breath and star.
A cover of sinlessness for the damned city, city of descent .
Now for a short while it is possible to secretly smile from afar.
