mono no aware

Tower of Babel, ziggurat

skyscraper

whatever we elect to name them

industrial arms of Gaia

its amazing

still, though— i much prefer the delible, deciduous

leaves crunch and blow

regrow

i write poems in the water

in Dallas park

i sit and watch the traffic go.


as much as I love the permanence of monuments, there is a certain beauty to the ephemeral.
