What is precious in a skyline

is heat, the hum of a city.

One-thousand sins unatoned,

the science of progress,

the devils tapping on our door,

the pulse of religion.

We are careful

of the concrete,

the snow

our feet becoming

wedged

between sidewalks

and we, in turn,

becoming overripe

in a city

that has in itself stewed too long.
