This collection of poetry and short stories portray the dark and bright side of city life that sparkles like colored ice on sale in ice-cream counters. Each and every piece is sparkling, delectable, and tempting, with a swaying rhythm. A blues song in tempo weaving its unforgettable tunes through back alleys and speeding highways. Through rustling grass and sighing wind. Through the million soulful yearnings of the human mind that rises above all to conquer that elusive high ground.
