Skylines rise from my ribs fluid and luminous
Each heartbeat lights another street
Traffic hums like memories debating their meaning
A metropolis grows from longing
Bridges arc between former wounds
carrying crowds of emotion toward reconciliation
Neon signs flicker with unfinished dreams
The city thrives on ambition unspoken
Storms roll across my sternum in electric murals
Windows glow through the rain resilient
Even cracked pavement holds beauty at dusk
This city does not fear brokenness
When night falls towers shine like promises kept
I breathe deeply expanding the borders
This city lives because I live
My chest is its skyline
