The Sleeping New York

A tribute to one of my favorite movies-- 28 Days Later. Probably not one of my best, but I've learned to take the good with the bad.

Wind whistles through the thin arms

of whispy trees, uncared for.

          No sign of clouds.

The cool winter's breath chases loose

papers down an empty street.

                           Wanted Ad's still hang on an old bulletin board.

                           Lost dog.  Seeking Employment.  Want to buy a treadmill?

New York, the city that doesn't sleep,

isn't sleeping.

        It's dead.

Curtains thrash at open windows,

icicles tremble from their perches.

And where are the people?
