what were we then,

                              indestructible?

 

 

 

                                                       not from
                                                                     sap, not from
                                                                                  drainage, not from

                                                       the gravity
                                                       who pulls us
                                                                                  all the way back
                                                                                                           to zero,

 

 

                                       the concept

 

 

 

                            that nobody could imagine

 

 

                                                                                            so,
                                     invulnerable? we might just be that precicely, but

 

 

 

                                                           of course we are not

                                         permanent.

 

 

 

       the black holes bore down

 

       from darkshot rays

 

 

       the black holes bore down

 

       beneath a high noon gaze

 

 

and the blackest cities were the brightest ones

                             every night.
