< songs from the 81st floor >
rarely reach the ground
a song at night
sung moments before
reaches its way
50...
24...
but rarely
reaches the ground
a song
when sung from the 81st floor
washes out in waves of breath
these songs that seem to sing themselves
aching for ears
for years
reach down
singing a song from the 81st floor
their voices
their words
may sound like these
and watching
watching as they drop...
they drop...
they reach the ground
