145

my city not only stretches,
it grows upwards like a flower towards the sun,
and it digs into the ground like an anchor in the dirty sea.

i wonder when and i wonder where
will my body become the city?
my eyes are ponds,
my fingers are the street lamps, tips lit at 3am.

i could say more, but i won't.
i just want my smile to be the sun that keeps this place alive.
