New York City Alley at Night
New York City doesn't have many alleys.This is an alley in lower Manhattan. This was taken on a quiet night as a person stood still near the end of the street and the city lights illuminated an otherwise empty city scene.
I love the moments that occur when night falls and dreams roam the streets.

At night
the city stars
shine like supernovas
in a vast
urban universe.
And in the hours
just before midnight
during muffled increments
of time
when the city's heart
palpitates in time
to the distant lullaby
of the day's remains
dreams sleepwalk
their way
through the
alleys and streets.
