Announcement
The last shot in the air
was not the report from a .22
Nor it was not a head on collision
between two automobiles
in relative speed.
Ask the tiny window cleaner,
dangling mid-air, calculative;
on the twenty fifth of the high-rise
It was just the death of a dream
Just one-claimed by none yet
It fluttered and burst,
before bleeding dry
But what caused the uproar
was the broken edges;
that showed small fingers-
curled and cold,
from the bluish tinge
that spread fast
It was suffocated to death-
another statistical figure,
A number on the death toll;
of unclaimed dreams
Good night-Sleep well-Soon.
