Cracked sidewalk filled with dark rainwater
Should I step through it or around
Graffiti layered over older graffiti
What stays
When names fade
Rust-streaked roll-up garage door
Nothing opens here
No matter how long I wait
Underpass echo with damp air
My footsteps return
Close to my ear
Faded lane markings splitting into two directions
Do I have to choose
Now
“No Loitering” sign bent at the corner
As if we ever had
A place to stay
Oil sheen floating on dark water
Can light forget its shape
Streetlight reflection broken by ripples
Which version is closer
Everything thinning
Before I do
Can I stay solid
A little longer
Residential Permit Only
Am I passing through
Or pretending
Street name sign slightly twisted
Do names turn
When no one looks
Cigarette burn on a metal handrail
Who waited here
Longer than they meant to
Footprints drying on concrete
How long
Before they disappear
Chain-link fence humming in the wind
How does something so thin
Hold a sound
Elevator call button glowing
If I press twice
Does it hurry
Oil sheen floating on dark water
Can light forget its shape
Streetlight reflection broken by ripples
Which version is closer
Everything thinning
Before I do
Can I stay solid
A little longer
Canal railing cold to the touch
Should I let go first
Nothing opens
Nothing stays
My steps
My name
My shape
Cracked sidewalk
Dark rainwater
Light breaks
And doesn’t return
I keep walking
Until it doesn’t matter

Urban Fragments
Small moments appear while walking through the city at night.
Distant lights, passing strangers, quiet streets, and a night that never fully ends.
This album is not the story of a single person.
Instead, it quietly observes fragments of many lives that exist within the city.
Carried by the gentle groove of Neo-Soul and Urban R&B,
warm Rhodes chords, breath-like vocals,
and rhythms that move at the pace of a night walk begin to unfold.
Each song captures a small scene floating in the night city.
It is not a single story,
but a narrative that forms within each listener walking through the night.
Its meaning slowly takes shape differently for everyone who hears it.
Urban Fragments
A collection of small moments encountered in a city breathing through the night.
