Subway platform empties after last train
Neon diner sign blooms like nightshade flower
Steam rises from grate where roots maintain
Warmth against concrete in late night hour
Condensation maps the vinyl seat
Chlorophyll dreams in bacon grease heat
Phototropism pulls the weary feet
Toward sodium glow on tiled street
Neon shelter roots the wandering soul
Petunia veins in vinyl unroll
Taxonomy written on condensation scroll
Life persists in sodium gold
Fingers trace the laminate wood grain
Quercus patterns in formica skin
Night bloom opens through the window pane
Dormancy breaks where the light comes in
Condensation maps the vinyl seat
Chlorophyll dreams in bacon grease heat
Phototropism pulls the weary feet
Toward sodium glow on tiled street
Neon shelter roots the wandering soul
Petunia veins in vinyl unroll
Taxonomy written on condensation scroll
Life persists in sodium gold
Barista moves like mycorrhizal thread
Connecting cups to hands that shake and shiver
Steam writes latin on the glass ahead
Coffea arabica delivers
Root systems map the city underground
Mycelium networks in the dark
Neon sign a fruiting body found
Photosynthesis in the parking lot
Neon shelter roots the wandering soul
Petunia veins in vinyl unroll
Taxonomy written on condensation scroll
Life persists in sodium gold
Train returns but rider stays awhile
Absorbing light through epidermal layer
Neon diner sign a gentle smile
Chloroplast charge in sodium prayer
Neon shelter roots the wandering soul
Petunia veins in vinyl unroll
Taxonomy written on condensation scroll
Life persists in sodium gold
Life persists in sodium gold
Fingerpicked nylon strings fade low
Double bass bows the morning hour
