your gray streets marked with the droppings from cars in passing<\/p>\n
leaving their scent behind<\/p>\n
making their territory<\/p>\n
my breath hangs above me on those chilled Saturday nights when conversations dangle in the air, falling into the sidewalk cracks waiting to be picked up and used again<\/p>\n
in those perfect moments are the most desirable<\/p>\n
weekend warrior themselves strip their suits and untangle their ties<\/p>\n
parading on\u00a0your streets with their excuses in hand while firing slurred adjectives and nouns<\/p>\n
bridges gap from one moment to the next where life begins and ends in a single heart beat that belongs to the inhabitants you cradle in your skeletal structures<\/p>\n
looming above me<\/p>\n
keeping me safe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
