Chicago

It’s been hot this week, making us all want to soak in the last of the summer beauty of the city.

Chicago. Your beauty rises as high as your towering giants, from the depths of your watery soul. I will return to breathe in the music of this beautiful city, as sweet as an ice cream cone on the lake’s edge at sunset.

puts a chill on reveries
you’re fall,
a misty morning, sitting
that’s all
a thirsty leaf, regretting
