Nightly Pulse.

I walk—
yeah walk sluggishly—through the city’s bloodstreams,
where night sweats slow
and hangs in the air
like half-remembered dreams.

Dew drops—
lazy, electric—
cling to railings, windows, eyelids of buildings,
then slip…
slide…
fall like tired thoughts
into streets that haven’t decided
if they’re asleep or just pretending.

A worker—one of the last—
leans into the wheel,
eyes blinking in rhythm with the signal,
praying—not to God—
but to the traffic light - >Please soon be green.

In the rearview mirror— A flash—
some hungry sign screams:
BUY 3 GET 1 FREE
like salvation comes in multiples,
like desire’s a discount bin -
disappears into the foggy horizon.

Then—
the night cracks open.
It breathes.
It hums.
It moves in hips and laughter and cheap beer.

Kids—no, not kids—
curious alley cats - nightly creatures with spring in their veins—
they rise up,
thirsty for something they won’t name,
dancing like gravity forgot them
under neon halos
flickering
like artificial constellations.

Filled with Spring
With Love—
or something dressed like it—
They let a daring wind passes between them
in glances,
in kisses,
in the space between the seductive beats.

And me—
still walking,
just watching, remembering —
this vibrating youngly pulse,
as i counting the seconds
Seeing wrinkles in the morning rain puddles,

Invisibile tra l’acciaio, tradito da un vetro. La metro corre, ma il mio 28mm ferma il fuori-quadro: lo sguardo vivo di chi cerca l’altrove. Resto fedele alla naturalezza, l’unica lente che il bambino in me non ha mai smesso di pulire

Another of the poems engraved into one of the flagstones of the viewing point at the end of Hill Street in the Garnethill area of Glasgow, along with part of the view you get from it of the spire of Saint Mary's Episcopal Cathedral (with the photo taken earlier this month).

A poem by Edwin Morgan inscribed into a flagstone on Candleriggs in Glasgow, just outside the City Halls. Born in 1920, Morgan became the city's first poet laureate in 1999. This particular poem is an alternative take on the well-known rhyme about the Glasgow Coat of Arms.
