Vine covered skyscrapers stand tall,
seeking and sapping scraps of leftover life,
near and far.

As a gentle gust uncoils itself,
from the snare of a clinging history,
the fragment of a dead leaf is blown,
into the clutches of tormented trees.

Standing bare,
they fumble feebly at the incoming breeze,
fighting farcically.

As the wind weakens,
it whisks arid soil;
over the bones of dystopia.

There's a nice feel to it when you read it from bottom to top instead of the usual way xD

That is on purpose.

If there is one thing the heart wants to deny, it is the falling of something considered great. The reverse effect appeals to that and captures how people will cling to illusion for solace, even if it has no substance.


Well spotted.
