Inside blue dreams are drowning cities
frayed with shadows that stretch huge
in unclear moonlight
skeletons ride through flooded alleys
luminescent in the charcoal cities
decaying buildings tower above
the black waves
a mother’s voice like splintering glass
echoes shrill in the emptiness
at every corner shattered windows
and dead colors fester
an underground darkness rose
swallowing life in decades of shadows
an ageless rippling night
