Dear New York,
I'm hungry for the grit. The dirt.
The darkness in all this light.
And so, I've come to you for a spark of your burning magic.
Invade me and leave me with nothing.
I'll let you in, to steal my blood and wash over me.
I'll give in to you.
Just lay me down and give me everything you've got.
You know what I need.
You know what I need.
Fire me up.
Spit me out.
Spit me out.
Take all that's left of me.
MoJo.
MoJo.
Awesome and creative post! I love the little blurb of dark NYC wonder, that shined out the most for me! Are these perhaps lyrics for a new song?

ReplyDeletethis is something I wrote about new york, maybe you'd like to read it as well:
untitled, new york, 2011
sitting by the window
2 AM, 11th floor
the city never sleeps
no silence, no darkness
violet sky, glowing night
walking at night
23rd street, chelsea hotel
i wanna live in 1968
1973, 76, 77
we’re poets, we’re artists, we’re everything at once
lets get destroyed by madness
lets get destroyed by the city life
coffee, cigarettes, whiskey and coke
burroughs, ginsberg, kerouac, holy
jim carroll, poetry and rock’n’roll
lou reed, andy warhol, edie sedgwick
glamour, glitter, blood & dirt
love, success and desperation
hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
and that’s what we do
we’re lovers, we don’t need a home
let’s sleep in central park
benches, squirrels, mad hatter statue
you’re mad, too. and so am i
and so is the city
the most beautiful things in the world?
open windows, sound of cars rushing by at night
citylights. people. the new york night.
keep me here, city lights
i don’t wanna leave, never wanna leave
thousands of people
anonymity
rich people poor people everybody’s here
we’re all the same, in a way
aren’t we?
breathing in the new york air
glitter, pollution and freedom
and the lights, always the lights
keep me here, city lights
i don’t wanna leave, never wanna leave
xx
