Desire is a city of yellow houses / as it surrenders its drunks to the night

Eyes lit like sparks a house gives off / when it burns

The sky clouded over and the pavement went white. / I stared at my hands. Like new leaves, / Light breaking through from behind.

Anyway what a wank take when the houses are clearly lit from within like the city sky line tea lights you get
Yes yes I know it’s a beautiful image , but more importantly Pastel houses … why
Can we go back to portobello road and we can totes hate on the houses (I personally would hate to have the 10 mil it would cost to live there) and go to that bookshop again & maybe the coronet
This isn’t really book criticism anymore but a colourful houses tan page
Not that I’m ever critical anyway
Oh good plan , while we are at it we can talk about how nice the quote is.
She’s the poet laureate of the US
That may be common knowledge but i didn’t know it until recently :)
