City

Big Pounding Slithering Glowing Radioactive

Cities

Killing me with the flush of drive

and lust

Slowly riveting me into the steel

chambers of the first Architect

Cain

His howl his lust

his growing power

in bursting legs

fleeing

He must rise

He must run

He must raise

a city

to block a bloodied stun

to the head

Run Cain

and make me

a column

a filigree

a neon cut

a laughing monolith

Twist me and turn me

into the gust

of your need

I'm ready

Mix me with the dust gravel screams

of our great hanging cities

in the gardens of tar

and slick black rivers

of diesel

I see my heart

tossed and frosted

in the great winters

of a brimming Jericho
