NYC Haiku #31-40

 31.

Chelsea market scent—
spices, bread, and old brick walls—
history you taste

32.
In the Village bars
poems spill like broken glass—
rebels still remain

33.
Night climbs every floor
as the skyline blinks awake—
stars manmade, aglow

34.
Eighth Ave preacher screams
against sin and scented smoke—
no one listens twice

35.
Sunrise over Queens—
warehouses gilded in gold
just for a moment

36.
Steps in Times Square pause
as costumed hope grabs a hand—
snap, a fleeting joy

37.
Trash bags line the curb—
somehow even this decay
glimmers in the dusk

38.
Tenements still hum
with old radio static—
songs from Puerto Rico

39.
A rooftop silence—
city noise becomes a hum
beneath moonlit bricks

40.
Lunch carts sizzle meat
beneath mirrored office walls—
hustle tastes like spice
