Night
The city's gone
In it's place, this grey stone maze, this
locked geometry of shadows, blind and black
and angles hurt into the sky, symmetries breaking
and snapping back into line.
The green Zs of fire-escapes ; criss-
crossing what's left of the light
to a tight mesh.
The buildings close
around a dead-end then
spring open to the new future ; repetition
back-tracking, error, loss
