This street to
me is magic
the leaves
falling down
softly like snow
feathery brush
lip kisses
swirling in
crimson gold
sunset

ascending these
stairs carved
out of the
sidewalk I
feel as if I
am walking
up into another
world

Riverside
Church looks
down on me
like a castle
and I, a mere girl from brooklyn
drop to
my
knees
and
pray
