Iolanda Scripca Poet Free verse

Love For Sale

Midnight's hollow streets
Rolls Royce crushes cigarette  butts 
Sinful, cold drizzle of animalistic desire
Lurks on shadowy corners of locked buildings
For a price, negotiable..
Balconies bear yesterday's broken beads
A jazz musician is soundly asleep
So much hard numbness in those easy to open bottles...
It rains over useless  signs: Do Not Park On Bridge!
Skid  marks end in despair
A street light dies totally alone
The City keeps on pulsating hopes of togetherness
In a Midnight's hollow streets
Full of happy windows...

Audrey Haick January 15, 2010 at 9:22 AM Great write Iolanda! Great imagery! Driving by in a car, through all big cities, funny how all such streets look the same and have that vibe on a cold rainy night! Good job! Peace and love, Audrey
