The birds are skinny rats <br />The oceans and skies are filthy cats <br />Through this magic window <br />All things fall to the wings of this blue shadow <br />The lightning and the bright sun are sweet waters <br />The buildings on the streets are four alters <br />In this magic window <br />There is not a pore where reality can pour<br /><br />Sicelo Sithole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-magic-window/
