The forest is bare
I stand here idly and stare
At shone skyscrapers...

Days fill
silhouettes
shadow figures
windowless skyscrapers
scorched rust...

Atomic monster
Breathes flaming vapors
Smashes skyscrapers

Higher than before

We mourn atop skyscrapers
As our forefathers
Mourned amongst baobab trees in Uganda
Because we have been forsaken,
It is judgment day,
And we’re fearful....

Philly in pink haze

Skyscrapers tucked deftly
behind a string of trees

car trucking along Girard
unaware of amaranth mist
slowly adjourning into dark...

She had the beauty of youth
Peachy glow of innocence
Ready to scale skyscrapers
She had no idea how adorable she was
Every word and deed a reflection of herself

Time is coming to grow enough food
Hydroponics must be employed for what ensues
Skyscrapers only for
Growing food every floor
Millions of pounds the shortage to defuse...

Paralyzed sunshine of the day, gray kissed skyscrapers in faint
Blurry dance stuck in the air as the dew pervades some occlusions
Day sketched gloom in beauty behind the droplets of breezy nimbus...

Rain pounds the pavement,
steady downpour that washes
the homeless away.

Mists cloud the upper
stories of downtown buildings,
skyscrapers lopped.

Pools gather near curbs,
waiting for their chances to
splash pedestrians....

Joanne jumps like a deranged jack rabbit, my grandma said.
I have seen her leap over sofas, cars, and a firetruck red.
Her legs are longer than your Dad’s or Uncle Ed.
She hops over skyscrapers, my confused grandma said....

Lit
Like a
Little spark
Blazes blood red
Wild vampires compete
Black frightening owls soar
Charcoaled skyscrapers collapse
Dry bones of men and women seen 
The solars and lunars shake in shame...!

Brick buildings.
Skyscrapers reaching.
Up high into the heavens.
Some jagged and harsh.
Some smooth and gentle. 
Stone upon stone.
For ages to come.
From ages past.
Some crumbling
Some climbing.
New temples
to new age gods....

earth turned bald.
skyscrapers loom bold.
waste hideously piled.
toxins profusely spilled.
nature cruelly defiled.
we stand greatly appalled!

Slowly go out of the city lights.
Only the bright neon lights blinding,
Merging into a thin, thin thread.
Into the night skyscrapers,
The noise of the city was quiet.
And outside the metropolis draws
Bright scattering on a dark background....

The Dawn Broke every bone
While fighting the Darkness;
Still struggling to Rise,
She clawed her way
Over the Skyline,
Tearing herself on
Skyscrapers until the 
Whole Sky
Was stained Red;
Eyes were averted-
Everyone agreed-
It was Too Soon....

SUPERSTRUCTURES

Skyscrapers in every nation,
Signs of mankind's aspiration,
Millions of plebs face starvation.
No dwellings for them, deprivation,
No, skyscrapers they keep building,
How many lilies are they gilding?
What else could they be doing?...

castles of the north
conjured out of snowflakes
shivering in glass

castles of the east
notorious skyscrapers 
subway noises

castles of the south
serving corn and fried chicken
delicious meals

castles of the west
cowboy roping and riding
rodeo ready...

OUR WORDS STACKED AS SKYSCRAPERS

THE world is committed to insanity;
   our words stacked as skyscrapers
 allow ants characters to escape
flooding water
         as drowned bodies float
past the windows of office space.

love be kryptonite
to every superman ignite
that fall in love in flight
with that special superwoman and
for every super heart we trust tonight
that leaps over tall building and skyscrapers
in one single bound
shall find that 
super lover inside of you...

If I were a grasshopper
I could jump ten times my length
I am five foot two inches
For me this means, I could jump one hundred feet
I picture myself jumping up to the rooftop
And leaping over two or three buildings
Jumping over the tops of the roofs of skyscrapers...

In a city full of skyscrapers
Under the blinking street lights
Is a girl walking at the side
Who is watching a lone star from a far
Silently praying for her to look up to the blue skies
And see that above all the colours around her
There is a twinkle just for her eyes..!...

I had been a small town girl
thought ski tags off expensive jackets meant
jackets were shoplifted

when I left my small rural Iowa town
I saw skyscrapers, and women wearing
tennis shoes with business suits.

In New York City everyone does not say hi
It was a rude awakening....
