The trail of tears

Contributed by iodinelove on Sunday, 13th June 2010 @ 11:55:25 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

America, I love
The valley of your breasts
At low tide
How your inlets shatter silver
Against the sunlights
Spoiled and broken
Hypodermic shore
How your stillborn skies
Still burn at the concrete boundaries
Of towering forests

America, I love
The sweep of your congested skylines
How your cities stretch
Black fields
Across honey-suckle blue
How your indefinable love
Still murmurs at the edge
Of primordial sands
Stained white with lies
And another mans dreams
