Sunset Tower
April 25, 2009
Silhouetted so sharply against
soft rose and orange clouds,
it stands.
Black against
the brightness of the foamy sunset,
it rises out of a dark landscape.
A pillar of man, set on spindly legs of iron,
it mars the picture.
Light shines all around it,
giving form to this splotch of humanity.
Brazen before the majestic sky,
the water tower stands silent.
