In Peripheral In this place between night and dawn, of empty-eyed buildings and discarded matchbooks, haggard people pass each other, tied together with yo-yo strings that snap. All over, the sound follows. And up and down the alleys walk unspeakable creatures, stalking children who laugh and play in the dirt, and forget they are old, living and breathing, death on their lips and light in their eyes, before morning comes. |

this reminds me of driving through the city at night....what you see on the streets instead of the bright lights from the freeway. |

Impressively vivid! Sad, but unfortunately so true. Love, Margherita |
