Cityscape
by Anonymous
Those farthest away lurk like burglars
In mountains,
Forcing their way through the horizon.
Evening swallows the purple skyline,
Silent as submarines beneath the surface.
The humming birds from the cages go
Darting along sidewalks, down streets
Busy with the business of living.
