Hi duke,
like the idea(s), but think the language is a bit flat.
If you were looking for a third verse, I was reading recently about 'ghost villages' in Spain,
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spain...SKCN1TE03B
https://theconversation.com/rewilding-as...ope-119316
and then there's Detroit.
I think you might reverse the order of the title.
Just a suggestion.
Not worth the price
of demolition
apartment buildings,
empty echoes
of childless Japan.
Skyscrapers
slowly falling
raining dust
eight-lane highways
wind swept
residential blocks
nowhere cities
beyond the reach
of China.
Best, Knot.
