Step City


The following is the direct result of a dream I had recently about a place called 'Step City' which was full of uneasy people but was completely silent, except for the noise of footsteps.


Raven wings massage the tip of a bright white sun erased by haze.

I am starved of stars in this city.

Inhaling without contemplation, surviving without sustenance on poisoned air.

The parks are a sea of people, all trying to eat nature

Until there is nothing left to feed on.

A city of heat and hurry, no rawness, only impurity.

In a grey building, gloves are placed on,

My final meal, two hours later,

Is nothing more than stomach contents on an autopsy table.

I belong to the city now.

My undesired energy cut out of my system.

As I walk the city streets, I am sure I am screaming,

Yet only my footsteps leave an echo.
