MY COMMUNITY
by Llayton Ilar

 

This is my community

A fairly short walk from beginning to end

5-Story Brick Mansions surround me in my point of view

Familiar Faces passed while I didn’t recognize others

The Blazing Asphalt melts the soles of my shoes within each step I take

Sweat gradually makes its way down my face

The wide open field of shimmering grass glistens in the howling wind

The sun peeks through the clouds without any notice

Short waves glimmer along with the smell of chlorine in the cool, crisp air

Everything seems perfect, and in my eyes it is

This is my community
