Birthplace and Ashes

Detroit, Michigan, photo by Rachel B. Baxter

Birthplace and ashes,
heartbeats and crashes,
city magic.

Nostalgia and tears,
the grinding of gears,
belonging here.

Art sync life fantastic,
the pulse of the tragic,
calm and spastic.

Ghosts walk ice and streets,
pounding bass drum beats,
feeling complete.

about me.
