The lights of cities cushion from
wildreaming, broken wonders clear
under moonlight.
Saving coins for a sunny day
dead currencies rust-red under fingertips,
we are all too hollow here.
Voices we never hear are
Speaking what we can't ignore --
The trees are, soft, dying.
What we hold to slips away:
Ashes on tongue, dust on a hand;
Promises of summer.
