Beyond Central Park
The blade of grass
withstands the force that
is being pushed down upon it.
As the sun whispers the last of its warmth, yawning out a rosy sky,
It wilts,
shutting down. The first signs of the snarling frost
prowls, haunches tense.
The haunting song
of the wind floats,
echoing.
Wailing to its crescendo.
All is still.
And in the distance, embers
float
across
the
sky.
And I stand on my own two feet
Drowning
because
I
want
to.
