Shadows of the Morrows

men & women
looking at the hills
seas, mounts, vales
green forests of city-lines
& the blue rives & dives -
are these the treasures
of crocodile shells
everywhere
life looks like smooth shadows
in a mirror of morrows
mauled in today's kisses
or some tiny egg-shells
smashed in hasty disgust
of the disjointed hours.

You've cast such a dark picture of tomorrrow. The image of smashed egg-shells gives off an alarming sense of non birth. Well written Canny!
