neon city

dark alley

I spent the night
wandering the town,
while the skyscrapers were covered
in the heavy layers of mist.

There was no one
on those dark urban streets,
only me
and the stray cats.

But instead of choosing
the wide, leading path,
I had to think...

I had to think about
what could happen
if I took a risk.

So I decided,
to go a different way,
into the unknown,
down the dark alley.
