THROUGH THE SQUARE WINDOW

Two vertical slices of white marmolean
Concrete, interrupted by a stray sprig of green,
A weed re-asserting the rights of nature.

To the right, a dozen flat identical balconies
Press against pristine white like a perpetual 2-D
Porn still. Cut by the tenderness of a curve,

Revealing sky; a subtler, brighter shade of white,
Which clings to the top right hand section of the square,
Fighting its corner in the jungle of the cities.
