Bleakness Can Be Inspiring

Bleakness can be inspiring:
A bloated river, a ruined city,
Pictures in an old history text-book;
A metropolis blinded by fog,
  Deafened by apologetic airline announcements;
A manual projection camera displayed,
Outside a renovated theater, taking the leap;
Scores of employees in funeral attires,
Walking back from their own graves.

Hidden Gems

All that passes,
passeth by,
all passers-by
steps over the body;
christ lies still,
sneering in secret,
at the passers
hurrying by,
each to his ends,
forgetting why.
