are we here to understand or to survive?
we are building mountains
the blueprints are being drawn
as breathless words pour from these eyes
mounds lay like bodies in the morgue side by side,
in ashes we lie
are we here to understand or to survive?
smoke screens and bandages
cannot hide the icons in architecture
that stand as archives of colossal structure
assembled to destruction layer
in degrees of grey scale coating
so travel broken rivers across manufactured landscapes
and along the rebuilt curve of the planet
as breathless words pour from these eyes
