Tokyo Skyline

Mount Fuji

coils across the landscape;

a frozen, sleeping dragon

dreaming the

day into night

as the sun descends

like a fiery ember

on the exhaled breath

of the slumbering giant

and dusk

extinguishes the sunset.

Shadows dance

across Tokyo

when the sun slips away

for the night

as the present

pulses into the future;

arteries pumping

and flowing through

city streets like

sanguine lava.

And as the

city’s synaptic

skyscrapers

reach up to

the night sky,

Tokyo dreams

itself into

existence.
