Towers of glass Feb. 16, 2025


 

Towers loom over me as I walk between them, this city no longer the city I once ached for, too stark, too full of shimmering glass, the parade of people before and after me, alien to me, as they beat their passage through this alien landscape, though none of them can recollect like me what it looked like before, all of us strangers to each other, all of us struggling to survive in a city where no one is fit to live, the rush of traffic, the wail of sirens, the painful chill winter brings with its gusts of wind, swirling around and through these glass canyon. I am a stranger in a land too strange for me to endure, yet we must endure a life filled with anticipation for something we cannot find here or elsewhere, and yet, we still search.
