enshrouded in a veil of mystery
closed off from what is around you
yet,it is awash with the sounds of life
cars crawling by appearing out of the
swirling grey shadows
the noise from the engine strangely muted
red tail lights flicker one last time
before vanishing in the mist
a ghostly image appears before being
swallowed whole once more
the faint echo of high heels
clicking on the pavement
the sea leaves a strong scent
in the shrouded cloak
that visits this harbor town
heated concrete and city smells
are crushed under its weight for a time
before escaping to enshroud us in
its own cloak when the fog
returns to the sea. |
Submission Name: the shroud
