Skyscraper:



Skyscraper speak your peace
In shadows cast to see to dial into linear
Reality upon which grammar rules
Beyond reach of imagining -keep the
Good laughs going at god's every word
The yoke weighs the feather loss in
Winds and immeasurability
Civism grows among thorns
Alongside urban irrigation ditches
Filling with waste from milk cows
North of Quebec south to Cleveland
Detroit and west to Chicago to pits of
Stomachs of Saint Louis emptying blood
Rivers down by Argentina
Love is loss in rinse of native souls
Freed to dissolve the Mississippi into
The gulf of British rinse waters readying
Heat to dry cotton picked to smooth
Catholical surfaces spun through tales
Told of textile mills
Fog clears a field of force in America
Electric console windows bleep yellow
Radioactive alerts to short out to
Failure of ice bucket regulators of
Alternate heat blow fans conditioned
To infrared overflow
Oslo melt discloses an ice bucket avatar
Recycled to empty into the great lakes
Do not appear to envy northern women
Sisters will challenge guilt and fear
And quit dream states to dignify the
Rule of imagination.
