THE CITY AT NIGHT

Notes
the city at night
Is incredibly different than other hours of the day
the noises softer
the light brighter
the colors hazier
I see the glass windows of the apartment building across the street shine an interesting blue
not a sky blue
not a royal blue
but somewhere in between
a welcoming sleepy blue
I can actually hear the crickets chirping their songs
no engines rumbling or dogs barking obscuring natures hymns
I make my own way down the street
the soft padding of my shoes
echoing my every move
this city is known for many things
one of them being that it never sleeps
and while I recognize the truth in this
as I see myself and a few other strangers walking our blocks
it feels to me as if this is the closest to sleep our city ever gets
the soft light
slow noises
and the dreams people see beneath their eyelids
as they themselves get sleep
