I.
our city is a bed
.
a man tries to straighten the wrinkled
sheet of road – gives up, sits down,
pans the street for change
.
the apartment building thrusts, phallic,
making love to an empty sky. a burst
of pigeons coo shut up shut up
.
a boy tries to fall asleep. his nightlight
is a myth that burns out once a day
.
the girl walks off her roof
.
.
our city is not a mattress
.

 reports, 1d 7h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
