Cathedra (R101)

In the morning they are with ashes
Afloat, sucked within the skeleton
That titan cross-hatch of girders
Char black with experiments

Gargantuan shoulders hunched against the wind
Change colour with the cries of memory
There in their perpetually gaping mouths
Gazes turned to altitude trails flailing

More, the ball of flame to the earth echoes
Hydrogen light bodies trying to spread their wings
In shadow play - sequenced brothers of the land -
Historic comets falling for progress –

In the evening, creature forms
Wrestle with the notorious landscape
Lumber like invading alien warhorses
