Week 10: Autobiography: In New York

I used to think that I belonged here,
in this built up world,
tall as the skyscrapers and just as strong.

So when Times Square feels lonelier
than perching atop the Highline,
looking out across empty train cars
and the swollen river;

when the night turns,
all of the stars winking in windows;
as this monument of a city,
rooted in subway tracks,
releases into the sky;

I feel the sound of the street,
the rush underground,
the black night,
lightless against the outline
of New Jersey,

and think, still, I do.

    What is the Alternate Project?

    The Alternate Project is the culmination of a three year artistic endeavor. Its predecessors, the 365 and 52 projects, focused on photography for one year and poetry for one year, respectively. The Alternate Project will cap the three-year period with a combination of poetry and photography, every single week, for the year 2015.
