Vertical

Backlit in morning mist, the green shades

  define a curled leaf expanse around sky

  and ground



Reflecting a blue cover and steel neighbors

  the city tower soars and sways with

  earth tremors



The tall man looks around the dunes for

  a sign of the caravan lost to a

  swirl of sand



Up and up the metal bird climbs, sitting

  on a vertical base of fire and smoke,

  piercing the clouds



Intelligence and nature conquer gravity

  in time to the beat of hummingbird wings

  and jackhammers

Ahhhh... the beautiful sound of the city slowly living and dying around us as every moment slowly arrives just to leave us in a frantic haste...
