She lived in a town without sunrises and sunsets Where beauty is erased from the houses and offices All infrastructure is devoted to might and prosperity All activity, a collapsing dream, a fading memory Her skin was translucent, letting in harsh light Tadpoles multiplied in her garden, frogs had their feasts Quietly, quietly, quietly. Making sure not to disturb the predators The dogs and the cats pass them by without a glance Theodora had a dream. An ambition or a vision? In this town it makes no difference.  Everything is set to collapse into a black hole

She lived in a town
She lived in a town without sunrises and sunsets Where beauty is erased from the houses and offices All infrastructure is devoted to might and prosperity All activity, a collapsing dream, a fading memory Her skin was translucent, letting in harsh light Tadpoles multiplied in her garden, frogs had their feasts Quietly, quietly, quietly. Making sure not to disturb the predators The dogs and the cats pass them by without a glance Theodora had a dream. An ambition or a vision? In this town it makes no difference.  Everything is set to collapse into a black hole
