City (After Arturo Luz)
Rodrigo V. Dela Peņa
Where are you hidden among towers
and spires, labyrinthine buildings scraping
the sky, obelisks, citadels, pyramids erected
on the rough concrete ground; Where are you
in cross sections of shoebox malls, gilded forts,
astrodomes and coliseums, condominiums
with antennae zigzagging through the smog;
Where could you be amidst a colossal tangle
of palisades and pillars, in streamlined
geometries of transnational empires?
