Falling Cranes

By Kenn Taylor

Falling cranes
Flimsy facades
Open chests
Twists of rust
in dusty
concrete husks Falling cranes
Crushed to death
Pushing up
Desperate for
A new chance
Not decay

Falling cranes
Empty foundations
Fall to death
Nothing underneath
Nothing left
Falling cranes

Decaying old
Disintegrating new
Need worth
Need work
Working in
Falling cranes
Built on sand
Cracked in half
Buried
Forgotten
Falling cranes
on
They tell us
Elysian Fields
