Haphazard City

Although hubby and I don't live close to downtown Dallas, we sometimes have occasion to venture 60 miles south down the freeway taking the exit we took many years ago when we both worked in downtown "Big D."  Such was the case a couple of weeks ago. We arrived just before dusk, parked our car, and watched as a dark blue enveloped our beloved birthplace. 

In the hush of deepening blue, evening comes to the city, ever lit, ever awake, ever with pulsing heart.
bright lights have fallen again on the dark haphazard city
