the Sun will rise again
we have been in darkness since they arrived
in their caravan of dreams with empty promises of change,

Trails behind the breeze as the rain drops
Hurdles under the clouds to seek shelter
Disappears in the vapor of a darkest winter

The timbers were creaking

City hub on wings
apogee of ultra bright
fire within urban comet
tangerine signpost
to future halcyon spot
amidst buoyant step onrush

Bouncy castle perk
