THE CITIES ABANDONED

THE CITIES ABANDONED

The cities abandoned.  I saw you

Walking there long after the others

Had left.  It was as if a huge

Truth stretched out in front of you.

It glowed and had teeth, sparkling

Pointed and sure to find flesh

Before feeling.  Great winds

Filled with lightning moved

Throughout its body.

Could this be the same place

Where we had made love together?

Could this shower of glow discharging

Ether be the same feelings

That once were tender in our hearts.

Oh poor mankind, to be caught so far

From harbor on this night,

Slouched and desperate far from

Arms that love you.

“Come home.”, I said

But none could hear angel music

In this place, save animals

And the pure of heart.
