Tuesday poem #2 : Megan Kaminski : Cityscape

Buildings accentuate their mastery of gray

swept skies      turn over page after page

this time the south drawn blank

drained of sea and fever  how many hours

trained to listen speaking through gestures of

hands and neck   like a theory of something without it

being shown              

            on streets below billboards billow flagrant

affection for Belgian chocolate and belted shoes

we want drawers to empty cop to some conclusion

fill our own pockets with more than blueprints
