descanso

Fire spreads across the coastline As a grey-red tint is splayed across the sky The sun doesn't shine on the grids anymore Or maybe I was right and they never did As I watched the endless night encroach I decided I would run away Just narrowly outrunning the shadow On the eastbound 10 Ambling up the hill overlooking the valley I took it all in for what felt like the longest time All uninterrupted space I was a kid the first time I saw the lights on the horizon The world turned nauseous on its axis But we were all sick of moving in real time I had another Monica Bellucci dream And I think I know what it meant this time When all the venture capitalists are gone And the opportunists are banished And the rich are eaten Will nature reclaim the grid city? I came back to that hill recently And it looked like they had built a golf course And some luxury housing And there was a Whole Foods on the way I was a kid the last time I saw the lights on the horizon
