Concrete

The light of the sun
Has disappeared behind a cloud-
A cloud of concrete and despair-
It never breaks and the sky never clears.
I have no wings-
Neither white nor black
And have forgotten how to fly.
The wind has stopped-
Would it start again if I jumped?
Would I remember how to soar?

Or would I fall to my death
And be crushed upon the concrete below-
Below the concrete,
Above the concrete,
I stand at the edge of the building’s roof
And look,
A question in my eyes.
