The Windy City Blues
out on the town
cold somber streets
cracks in the pavement
spirits in the wind
buildings like portraits
telling forgotten stories
the skyline is foggy
like memories lost
blues guitar in the alley
bleeding through bricks
of the watering hole
and it’s fractured neon
a place to hunt
or die and disappear
tales of sorrow
and broken hearts
restless men and ghosts
swirling in grey despair
women needing love
perfume scented doorways
this city whispers truth
but you have to listen
though most are oblivious
the conversation continues

at first I was thinking this reminded me of an Al Stewart song, but it took a turn that was more like Stephen King. What makes it more notable is it does have your unique stamp.
