teeter

teeter

steel-toed foundations

deep dug into crusted shores

middle-class plastic drift pushes in

layered like ageless skin

cold hefty monoliths

cloud towering toward teeter

no backspace

for the freedom of recoil

elbows lacking windows

scrape scream and shudder

as gapping becomes impossible

another square of sky extinct

this once hopeful green land 

smothered now beneath car-parks and commerce

rediscovery seems unlikely

concrete takes so long to concede

welcome the day 

mother nature takes it all back
