Nature’s treatment

For the sore at heart

amidst a concrete jungle

a jungle of soul

Satisfaction

Mansion from without

a tiny house from within

joy is perspective

Clinging for dear life

as humans to emotions

creepers too, to poles

Chicago-in-the-fog

Descends as judgement

on dissenters from above

the summertime fog

Tall and wide they be

expansive, unsheltering

unlike trees, towers
