Impression

II

by E.E. Cummings

writhe and

gape of tortured

perspective

rasp and graze of splintered

5  

normality

crackle and

sag

of planes        clamors of

collision

10  

collapse      As

peacefully,

lifted

into the awful beauty

of sunset

15  

the young city

putting off dimension with a blush

enters

the becoming garden of her agony
