Impressions II

---

writhe and
gape of tortured

perspective
rasp and graze of splintered

normality
crackle and
sag
of planes clamors of
collision
collapse As

peacefully,
lifted
into the awful beauty
of sunset

the young city
putting off dimension with a blush
enters
the becoming garden of her agony
