new york in march

i'm sitting in a starbucks on the corner of 63rd and broadway. it's 11:37 pm.
outside the night is alive-- the remnants of a winter wind blowing through the vibrating warmth of electric lights, the well worn cement blanketed by a steady stream of cars. people getting up, going somewhere: an entire universe all of its own.

through the electric jungle, the hazy skyline, the altered landscape of skyscrapers and bundles of trash for morning pick-up and scattering people, i know one truth:
i
am
alive.

alive, breathing, feeling. anticipation curling in my fingers, understanding brewing in my heart.

alive.

oh, my dear, how i adore you. and our rock in central park with the sun rising. and that loaf of bread we gnawed on for breakfast. and crying over art images in a pew. and you!
