1.
I Behold this great city; Its rivers run dry And the concentric shadows of the towers Fall on sterile streets. Its citizens, immersed in their lofts, Flash signals to the sun, Each receiving its response. They watch it revolve around the towers, Relaying their messages. All are at the center of its revolutions. From their citadels they look down On the shadows And pray for mirrors, Dedicating themselves daily anew. The wind raps hollowly At the base Of the minarets, Falling on the deaf ears in the keep. Outside of the towers’ gaze Lies a plain, Neglected by the denizens; A disinfected waste Where our dreams went to die. Its fields, long ago desiccated, Have their parched dust carried listlessly Through the dry grass, Overgrown at the base of the towers, Under the sun’s bloody gaze. And when that sun sets on this great city It drowns, Immersed in the moon’s blunted pallidity Until the fire rises To immolate the towers once again.
2.
II A small spark, A whimper in the wasted fields; A flicker from the rising flames of the sun’s Blistering gaze Ignites the hollows in the towers As queens and princes atop their monoliths, Reflected eternally in their mirrors, Cower beneath its rays, Soon to drown in the inferno. What need had they of other worlds? They look out To the turrets of the others, And their eyes meet But they have forgotten how to speak Without their messenger Revolving Around the shallow towers. They burn together in the basin of the valley. True forms lay bare In the ashes of the holocaust: Their ruins only a corner Of this vast deadened landscape; A hollow wasteland in death As it was in life, Orbiting the sun.
