Image of The City

A long stretch of skyscrapers 

Like a slashing sword

Pulled from out of the sheath of dawn

And placed as Light

As a feather

Between my eyes.

Immense image of the City                          

Awakening me

As if I were captured in my sleep

By the onrushing assault of

Everything

A sudden hostage, 

My vision is bound

Within a window

Through which cuts a blade

Of light.

There is Nothing
To release me 

But to open it

And look out.
