Abandoned City
I was alone
among the buildings
taller than the mountains
closer than the trees
the sky closed around me
and among it all, I stood alone.
It felt like a drill in my chest
pounding deeper, breaking free
from that layer of support
to free-fall towards the pit of
hollow shells
I am an empty egg
crushed by your monster foot
and left alone to bake and freeze.
This is me, among the buildings.
This is me
among your smiling faces
the last mortal of the stars
standing on the empty streets
paper flies free
more paper than could have ever been
in the whole collection of The Library.
This world is not so big that we cannot be alone.
That we cannot evacuate a third of it
and stand together, with elbow room to dance.
We're just not conservative.
