Written between September 1, 2005 and July 18, 2006 on the New York City Subway
1
waiting underground
graffiti glowing dimly
darkness split apart
2
station passing by
bodies: frozen hieroglyphs
then gone, slicing time
3
emerging to light
the river shimmers below
out come the cell phones
4
screams outside my head-
phones: metal tearing metal.
a Fall of angels
5
an ill lit doorway
splits darkness between stations
inaccessible
