New York City - Winter Night - West Village

—

Winter nights open their arms up to those who walk through city streets strewn with glinting white embers: alabaster sparks left over from clenched-fist hopes that burst from eager palms onward and upwards into the sky.

Winter nights are the feeling you get when you are wrapped in a blanket as memories and scenes from all the other lives you will live and have lived play on the back of your eyelids like a fever-dream cinematic sequence.

Winter nights in New York City wrap themselves around you like a cocoon surrounding you with the sweetest of silences as trees spin their branches like webs over streets held down by the barest hint of gravity.

And we walk through the city like somnambulists moving through an otherworldly landscape: gliding through the white remnants of dream-laden clouds slowly with our faces drawn to street lights that hang over streets like stars leading our way back to the places we rest our heads.
