Catch the City Between its Breaths

chen si song

Wait for the pause.
The market after closing.
The café before the rush.

Watch the sun hit an empty chair
just so.
See the light slip through a gap
in the shutters.

These are the city’s confessions.
Tender.
Unrehearsed.
Only for those who stick around
after the crowd leaves.
