Apartments and Alleys

the diamond alley

sparkling, like stars 

embedded in asphalt

the cold air, brushing cheeks

and brushing hair

across foreheads.

the moon calls to it's stars

reaching out from the asphalt

they grow and multiply, like

cells dividing in a gravelly body

tiny rocks crushed 

beneath rubber soles

the crunching and rolling

of pebbles along the stars

trees sway, and the water reflects

red brick buildings, mountains and valleys,

apartments and alleys.

Gorgeous imagery - love this bit: "the moon calls to it's stars
reaching out from the asphalt..." Though perhaps in general, could have used a little more punctuation?
