city wall

Walking parallel lines

constrained by precipice wall

and water castle running

cold burned thunder lighting

waiting waiting

waiting again

funnelled crushed

like rotting fruit

like parrots

once holding court over seamen

stained working women

unmourned still

waiting

waiting for

that goddamn bridge

promised long since

promised again

gone now
