CITI – SCAPE

Concrete wings

In abstract skies

Wheel on high

Gather on ledges

Of crystal mountains

Where light leaves last

Then the canyon’s roar

Drops to a sigh

Ranges change

To mile-high reefs

Netting stars

On an asphalt sea.

When the Moon, dry-eyed

Sheds stainless steel

On the citi-side

The canyon sings

In winks and gleams

To its chromium bride.
