I apologize for not posting in a while. When life calls, I must answer. Anyway, here's another shout-out to another classmate from Poetry.

Midnight on the Bay

Mist creeps, thick and heavy, down the forgotten avenue

Drifting almost hesitantly, a river damned

With boarded windows through which no patrons streamed

Solemn silence wafts abrasively through

The skeletal remains of this broken district

No music playing save the rhythm of godly breath

Through the bones of the city

Cobblestones drag down, winding and narrow

The mist, lit by the ghostly celestial body above

Snaked ponderously along, determined

To make its nightly pilgrimage from the sea
