November 12, 2022 - “A red blinking light from Roosevelt Island”

This morning a mist hovers above the East River. A few moments before dawn, the Queensboro looks like a bridge to another world. A red blinking light from Roosevelt Island blends and keeps time with a few yellow glows that flicker on and then off, then on again from Long Island City windows. The weather’s still a balmy sixty degrees; a summer that refuses to relent.
