Shawn L Bird’s Monday Meme
Shawn L Bird suggested writing a poem to her photo. Here’s mine.
Darkness
To the left, on every 5th floor an apartment
is in darkness. Perhaps the powerless have been
swallowed by the gaping facade of City Hall.
–
Or consumed in Concert space with brightly
lit wings to help sound sore heavenwards over
twin golden rivers, bordering. Shooting off
–
as they do, streams of lives driven into corporate
havens for workaholics when, like those three dark
floors, they should be blissfully asleep, not empty.

Thanks for participating in my Monday Meme! I have to say, at 2 a.m. when there was no one in those offices, it seemed very wasteful to have so many lights on!
Yes, I thought of it as an apartment block…
Lights are left on in city buildings here too. These days not so many lights as before. http://perthdailyphoto.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/perth-city-by-night.html
