Sanctuary City from Pin by Signals Midwest

i wonder what they’ll build next here
and what our block will look like this time next year
i bet i don’t recognize it
i’m on the subway with my arms up
half for space, half in expression of “enough is enough”
you splurge on a cab, we kiss in the back seat
and for a second we forget that

there’s so many other things to be
than searching for a sanctuary city

overripe west side summer sun setting
splitting earbuds on the bus, carole king and otis redding
and i try to be tender, try to be kind and remind myself that
there is such quiet grace in
private moments in public spaces
we sing on stolen ground and borrowed time
and for a second we forget that

there’s so many other things to be
than searching for a sanctuary city

wrote a note and a song
for goodness with no agenda
may we map our palms to the landscape
may we till this ground forever

there’s a landscape coming into focus
eyes locked on a figure in the distance
