Up from the night-basement
the city lifts
slow as stone
making up known space.
From the tip of day
stream down buildings
like teeth or mountains.

Across a plain
their layered blues
devour the horizon of events.

Pyramid points & mesas
at the distance,
the white city believes things
for us impossible.
