Skyscraper

high rise
get high rays
and wetter 
on wet days
closer 
to aeroplanes
in lanes like cars 
soldiers of concrete
steel feet in wars
in pillars 
like Lot’s wife
or muggers
with sharp knife
hanging in blocks
or flocks 
stabbing the sky

What a creative way to describe a skyscraper. I especially like the reference to Lot's wife, ie, a pillar of salt
