Capital City


Capital City

where should I drew back the map
capital
call human history came
until overflowing into
ocean waves
and fields remained somber paintings
shadows of skyscrapers
race collapsed on top
cardboard house that every time
howling in the roaring flood
and flash floods
rest: highway noise
a snarling restless, stuck density
river water black as ink
daub the city faces
the story of grief a thousand
pursed casement air

where should I drew back
map of the nation's capital?
flock jarring
hit by hurricane
- there must be an answer
the glimmer of possibility

where ....?
