Columbia is the new Newport

By shortandpretentious

The city descended upon me like angels
do a dying man with soul pure as streetsigns
headlights echoing in velvet dusk north
on an unknown road towards screaming
fluorescent light: towards an acoustic city gone electric
for one night only.

    This is short and deservedly so as one night is so short and yet so packed with images...admirable punch of imagery, loved the acoustic gone electric line...

    Very well wrote. Wish this one was longer but none-the-less, very good.

    Awesome image, thick description, how about continuation? No blame though, I do a lot of short pieces too. It'd just be fun to have more instead of only a teaser.
