Night View, New York, by Berenice Abbott (b. USA), 1932.

Nightview, New York, 1932

Here it is: a cozy of gems stitched down your sleeve.
Blood pulsing
hot against your temple.
You hold the lights like children in your gaze.
The tempo of traffic.
Inhale the shoe polish deep in the subway.
Shoulder the cold as if it’s a woman you can’t leave.
