the city

The sunshine locks
itself within
and the water races
through
the places where
I used to wander
but shouldn’t wish to anymore.

Trapped in a city
of neon lights
and fast cars
I look for a window
and a reason
to jump.

The waves crash
into each other
and undo
every idea
that each held
within the glistening
mirror.

Magical mirrors
struggle to breathe
in the city
of neon lights
and fast cars.
I look for the window
maybe because
I am out
of breath.
