Creation

Rows of houses, leaves in gutters
Slanting shadows half obscuring
Borrowed light from a dying sun
Home of ghosts, papery facade

Twitches inhabit foreground air
Visible to the keen observer 
More bits of nothing to disregard.
As if you could.

Assembled on a vacuum base 
With faith connecting the floating visions
Which are called life.
Pray, life!
