    Wary Traveler

    Alone, on a strange
    Promenade, where balustrades
    Hang flanked by gargoyles.
    We witness the city morph
    Into a giant beehive.

    Wary Traveler 2

    The journey home leads
    To a city that has grown
    Over itself, like
    A beetle’s shell beneath which
    The forgotten roam for love.
