Catching Sways |
By paved avenue sided planes
your delicate hands become barren
same as a gun's barrel held by a child
by endless commercial shows, adverts,
your sodden eyes become desiccated,
fingers on a handle angled upwards
a thousand voices in your head, sing grimly,
echoing turbines over emulsified nuclear flames
where proof is thrown away daily-
there, this heart dwells, yearning to listen to yours
for here, in Vienna's storms and cemeteries,
skyscrapers and ghosts, this world is often
secondary next to the sight of your heart.
