City 2
I have often seen cities like boxes
Growing on me, placed on my head
A tremulous burden of crowds and
Noise, wondrous sometimes
Not always urgent to the eye
And the mind
Begins to trim itself─
I long to hear of a call from somewhere
An island maybe with just sea shells
Spread far out on the shore
Or open pastures where a lamb bleats;
A woodpecker toddles above
On a blue bough of a moist feathery tree
On an hour both dank and deep
Reminiscing a crown of stars overhead
Ah! here I am
Jostling with the mundane─
I would rather be a drop in the ocean
That does not forget
Its existence azure
