“Roaming the streets I used to walk before.”
– a prompt for this week’s CW piece.
[Source: inspiration from Andrea’s post.]
I step off the train
into a place that once was mine.
A place I called home.
It looks so different now.
So foreign.
Newly erected structures.
Some buildings have been demolished.
The people walking past me
I don’t recognize.
Where are they going?
***
Friday night.
October chill in the air.
I walk back from the club.
Alone.
Until my soul mate meets me half-way.
***
That bridge is still there.
I close my eyes for a moment.
When I open them,
it’s like I walked through the doors of Narnia.
I take a conscious breath in,
and I can feel it coat the inside of my body.
The spirit of the city is back in me.
I roam the streets and the outback,
reminiscing of the old days.
Discovering new places
to form memories at.
***
