Urban Sprawl

Detailed plans
showing arteries and veins –
lifeblood

Silver spoons and candles glint with delight,
As our fingers danced around the menu.

upon landscape serene,
your charm never fades
in intensity.

graffiti on walls in art galleries.

as some windswept leaves

to huddle in a corner.

Pictured words in an endless paragraph.
