New Rivers

by Steve Hessler (Aquarius) - Not entered

new rivers form
in the concrete jungle
new gods
engraved upon her flesh
begin to mumble

she steps out into
the cold cold night

naked

save for her soiled socks

and she walks
down dirty alleyways
through a maze
of neon clocks
past men of black
conceiling unthinkable thoughts

but no one even looks twice
not on this final night
because no one here 
is really alive
Birth sign: Not entered
