The Dynamics of Groove

girl who

girl who glitters in the industrial maze of forgotten businesses in the blandness of sidewalks and strip malls girl who glitters before she disappears turns the color of the magic hour turns around to greet the sky girl who glitters shines against the night warmth of dawn about to break warmth in the wonder she…

running through the city

nonstop keep moving beautiful scenery under the awnings soaked by rain sidewalks not flat enough to discourage puddles and pools trees shaking they look greener today stretching out further look up to the sky for a momentary break clouds moving through blue sky backdrop cool air but with footsteps on the pavement quickly passing by…
