Poetic Conclusions

We share the same sky
The same smoke, the same lie
Walking concrete divisions 
Of hurt and goodbye

Our secrets are turning
On desperate pages
The tree blooms above
The flowers below

We tread the damp earth
Soon drying to desert
Among history's names
Of death and of life

The bridges are building
Through hungry ambition 
Their cables suspended
 On oceans of white

We hold the same treasure
A twisted cognition
Condemning a future
Of hope and grey skies

Our speed turns to liquid
Fills wide dusty canyons
With hot summer air
And pacific blue eyes

We read the same tombstones
Poetic conclusions  
Of dust and despair
In an ocean of time.
