The City is Sinking

Updated: May 26, 2024

The city is sinking

by increments.

Etching an impression

that’s permanent.

The sheer pressing force,

the full weight of it

depress earth

‘neath pinpoint and parapet.

Man makes his mark

by the millions

For his reach has grown far

past his origin.

And who is to say,

with each passing day,

If it signifies progress or pain?
