Random Poem:

Windows
azalea

And I'd watch the people,
 1
their stiff hearts stretching in the chrome skies
 2
like ripe roots thawing underground,
 3
lips brushing heads and cheeks and
 4
rusty steel rails, creamy hands melting,
 5
intertwined.
 6
I'd watch them,
 7
churning and growing,
 8
spilling over the balconies
 9
that would break their fall,
 10
wondering what it would be like
 11
for a thousand words to crumble
 12
meaninglessly
 13
to the ground.
