Of Budding Trees And Pillars Of Concrete Poem by Amberlee Carter
Of Budding Trees And Pillars Of Concrete
outside
raindrops fall to the pavement
far below this forever shut window,
obscuring reflections-
i live between abstractions
reality and memory-
i pray
there is enough left of me
for my children to find the safe passage home
in this city
we pay our tithing to stone-
we are gods of aftermath
fallen from our crooked thrones
into the darkness
where we burn our pyres for warmth

I liked this poem very much, especially the last 4 lines, which really conveyed a powerful image.
