Awoken by the flapping of the wind against the tapped plastic of a window shattered by memories of belligerence. The scent of stale cigarettes and citric ash lingers thick in the barren space. I ruminate over the pungency. The feeling is neither putrid nor defiled. It looms to illuminate the passing.
Where should I go from here? Of this I am unsure. I’ll continue to float in the meaningless haze through the boxes of vulgarities.
I’ve done wrong again. No initiative taken. Strangled by my own small hands. It was only a matter of time. I am aware of my self-fulfilling prophecy. No need to struggle against it. No need to embrace it. I’ll live in between. In the limbo marked by indifference and insanity. The weather won’t change it. It is set in stone.
‘Le Poisson Des Mers Du Sud’-Isabelle Antena
I graze the sullen sidewalks in the brisk winter morning. My hands finger tips are bitter but I keep them exposed to feel the warmth of the cup and the pure Parisian air. My heart pounds between every cobblestone crack. My blood is thick and my cheeks are flushed. I know so many before me have danced the romance, have drunk the wine, but now, Paris, it is our time.

There’s something to be said for clothiers like Brooks Brothers, L.L. Bean and the like.
Many of their core looks have remained very similar throughout their existence. ’Heavy Tweed’ looks back at many of those styles, and features so many New England/Americana classics.
MATTHEW GRAY for urbanemagazine.org
Through the thick cold air circulating the city,
I hear the soft remains of a sunken symphony.
Strange dreams peril my sleep.
Too familiar.
I am awoken
By the knocking of a conscious state.
I have the distinct feeling that I am led far astray
From the drowning confines.
