suns shine in all directions
i stare at them at night
on a rooftop submerged in the city.
miles away on a mountain
a house sits on stilts
the owner strolls outside
gazes at the lights below
but never looks up.
lights slowly carve through the sky
slow motion movement
causes me to wonder if stars can move.
technology and transportation disrupts nature
sounds of cars from the nearby freeway
remind me of waves breaking the ocean.
i close my eyes
feel the cold breeze
sink my toes into imaginary sand.
pacific waters are near
i have yet to feel its touch.
i open my eyes to the flickering dead light
the ocean disappears
but the breeze continues to roll over my skin.
