ON TOP OF THE HILL.
I'm standing on top of the hill
which is bare like a naked woman,
whose breasts have been uncovered
by a ravishing madman
The western horizen
has turned crimson,
and the gently setting sun
is red, almost like our blood.
The darkening sky ponders
over my existence, in a
world of tattered dreams
where fools sit on kingly chairs
ruling over reluctant subjects.
The wind ruffles my hair
and clouds ruffle the stars
when walking down the hill
now lit be pale moonlight,
I read humble grass and moss,
reminiscing the dense thicket
that once was, before man
murdered the trees.
Below me, the valley of neon
shimmers like a crowd of fireflies.
But the city is dead, and only
men in khaki stalk the streets.
The law's noose has strangled
the city's throat. And it is
another night of workless hours
for prostitutes and pimps. |
