She, luckily,
has herself—
sometimes
faltering,
mostlystrident
and quietly
bold,
but she
is lonely
in the city
of millions.
She walks
her own path
in a motley
mash of
people
all vying for
the same
sweet moment
in the sun,
to cross the
street
before
the light
changes.
The relentless
bustle
excites
and depletes –
they are massive
and she is
one girl
strong,
but
sometimes
wavering
in the
stormy city.

I love this poem too. A young woman with a strong courageous character. I know this girl through your words and have great admiration for her.
You captured the abscence of human contact in such a big city. The strength of a young woman trying to survive the daily dog eat dog world and the love of a mother wanting to be there for her daughter. Julie
