city in the morning

 

walking
pulse
slowly
quickening

block
another
block
the city 

begins to awaken
the quiet hum
of the street
begins to sing

store gates
creak open
welcoming
the world

perceptible
urban smell
permeates with
the scent of
fresh coffee

the sky 
peeks through buildings
clouds playing
hide and seek
with the sun

the light 

perfectly 

shadows

the gray

the mood

lightens

as the air 

changes

the day 

begins

morning

in the city
