Push. Pull. Break. Bloom. The streetlights flicker on at six The mortar holds the heavy bricks The circuit board is dry and clean The city is a grand machine Fracture in the limestone... But underneath, the water swells Digging through the hollow shells A green ghost in the wiring The heartbeat is untiring The sidewalk is a tectonic plate Buckling under the dandelion's weight Push. Pull. Break. Bloom. We are dancing in the empty room Push. Pull. Break. Bloom. Nature is the only heirloom Let the ivy write the map tonight Veins of emerald choking out the lligh It doesn’t happen with a bang or a blade Just a trillion tiny shadows in the shade Root by root, and cell by cell The forest rings the heavy bell The blueprint is breathing... breathing... breathing... The iron trellis snaps like bone Ivy fingers claim the throne The forest is forgetting man Push... pull... break... bloom... ​
