[Everything]

Theodore K.

The city of a thousand skylines All washed away and crumbling Kissed by the spreading vine Touched by the plague in time Decomposing in the bright light of a million years All you can see is dust Glass is back to sand The underground system is dead And black vines still spread here and there No survivors after the city’s obsolescence We all fly as spirits in these photons Dancing away, light like the early morning Everything is simpler now Everything is balanced now

City, I’m gone Now I am light One for the day Twice in the night Reflected upon the moon’s surface to shine Washing the city away as the oceans did a thousand years ago In the dirt you can see petals of plastic flowers man-made They complain to the wind, he finds joy in ignoring them Sitting in forests Fermenting like wine The electronic grid stays afloat in its eyes Collective of wonder Collective of fall Everything is simpler now Everything is balanced now
