rain is washing down the walls
weathered black, falling apart
streams of dark, icy cold
flow into drains
dragging the mud
of human boredom
- jaded and weary
thoughts jump into mazes
of sewage canals
if the river overflows
we'll be the Venice of the north
wash away
rotten flesh
decaying strands
of thought long gone
rain, bring us health
forgetfulness
and freshened light
of spring-time sun
soaked are the leaves
of fresh, green trees
that cover ruins
- seeds of decay
planted deep into every space
where people live
and breathe the soot
of exhaust pipes
and chimneys tall
our minds need sweeping, northern winds
to topple chimneys from the roofs
and clear the age-old verdirgis
