A dichromic study
Sepia lit
highlighting bare bones
trees in winter undress
silhouettes against the sky
Angular brooding buildings
stand sentinel
hold the Plaze hostage
they wait for the ransom
Spring’s sunlight
Rivulets of cold despair
slowly seep
freezing the core
Statues and citizens
recipients of frosty fate.
