City Morning Light
after Guillaume Apollinaire
gray stone buildings stand like empty boxes their windows blind eyes staring back at me
the Seine’s dark water flows slowly to the sea a barge carries crates of fruit and rusty machines
airplanes hum overhead leaving trails of white smoke the city’s noise is constant a mix of car horns and chatter
I walk along the river feeling the cool breeze on my skin the smell of freshly baked bread
I took the focus on modernity and urban life from Guillaume Apollinaire, incorporating elements like the Seine River and airplanes to create a sense of disjointedness and urgency. I aimed to capture the feeling of a typical city morning, with its mix of natural and technological elements.
