Roots from Oblivion by Ran Shevi

Roots

Beneath the midday sun above the city's rooftops

Breathing weed and milk in the soggy air.

Floating with the breeze above the roar of the city

Hour by hour.

Wave by wave,

With the breeze


Wave by wave

Hour after hour

With the breeze way above the city

A silent night among the deep eucalyptus roots of the city .

Rugs of leaves and cigarette butts slowly roasting on a stone sidewalk in the heat of a

Fading day.

Spiraling down through cracks in the pavement in the exhaustion of a blazing day

And slowly fading on a stone sidewalk in the heat of a blazing day
