Rooftops deflect
Unwanted radiance
On lukewarm mornings
Brushing aside
Pollen bits and bakery fumes
And a mockingbird's lullaby
As tree trunks subdue
In between
Rock-strewn roads,
Their breaths purifying
Throughout noxious corridors,
Conversations divert
From the underneath
Where footsteps frenzy
Undeserved
Into natural stillness
And unattained atmosphere
On pinnacle surfaces,
Countless,
How chimney smoke swelters
From platform to platform.

"Pinnacles" depicts the bird's eye view of the emergence of beautiful rooftops below the dawning sun.
