It is in the dark of nightWhen I drive in my carSpeeding down west on the 118 Then hopping onto the 5Which then merges unto the 101, Music blaring, The moonroof gaping open,The wind ushering in that cool air,The city lights of Los Angeles in the distance,Those small unremarkable specks of ember,Coke rap in full turnt,This is when I feel most uninhi…

Los Angeles birthed me.When I took off to college and made my way back, I remember standing on the rooftop of my dilapidated apartment across MacArthur Park looking at the crown jewel of lights that make up the small cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown. I would stare at these lights intently as the sun would draw to its end. I made a vow right then …

He wailed through the wallsHis dreams dark and menacingHis eyes closed, his body thrashingI turned on the light and nudged his handHe wouldn’t awakeI gently prodded him, asking if he was okHe remained quietHis body silentI wondered if he was aloneIf he was frightenedA scared boy A scarred childMy Father…

Crickets in the calm.A gust of wind gently making its way down the Bayou.I hear your echoes, your laughter, your southern purr.I hope you’re doing well.I hope you found what you were looking for.I’m still here but stronger.My lust for life never listless.Crickets in the calm.Down by the Bayou.Bởi RYK
