BLOWN OUT OF BREATH
In the days of tent cities
furniture inhabits villas
Air swims in pools
cherubs cling to faux vines
while fruit spoils in orchards
Iron gates rattle
against locked chains
Until they are blown
Blown out of breath
BLOWN OUT OF BREATH
In the days of tent cities
furniture inhabits villas
Air swims in pools
cherubs cling to faux vines
while fruit spoils in orchards
Iron gates rattle
against locked chains
Until they are blown
Blown out of breath
