Melani Udaeta Poet Other

Toxic Rondine

Ravage the taste of this city,
that sound of a midnight train ride. 
Haunt glitz and graffiti collide,
vile smoke rolls toxic within me. 
Some roots crack concrete completely, 
DNA's script won't be denied. 
Ravage the taste,
every morsel spells DMV. 
Authentic you do not let slide,
nothing ever rattles your pride. 
The underground rules discreetly,
ravage the taste.
