Description

City

In  the stifling 

August heat, 

above the city,

the history,

the canyons 

of forgotten places,

and beyond the empty 

names, 

the emblematic idiom 

of pointing fingers, 

the high rise 

of buildings,

the tipping 

and tearing, 

of a restless wind

cut, 

sharp, 

into invisible pieces,

a spirit arises, 

from beneath

the metallic fingers,

of high

construction cranes. 

For there is 

an undiscovered 

an empty sky, 

high and above, 

the spiralling wings 

of life

as three buzzards 

drift, 

turn and call

turn and call 

with eyes of steel

upon the stupefied traffic, 

strangled, 

stopped,

deep in the concrete 

rivers locked and frozen

in a grimace 

of anger 

of fear 

and far again 

below,

Winter pounces.

Waiting.
