A Town Called Cinderella

A town called Cinderella
You can hear the stillness
Through highrise cutouts
That invite strange birds

A town called Cinderella
Golden doors
Down caste
Under pressure, unrest
Shriek and fall like dying dogs

Look through frames
Flanked by mountains and dust
Caesar never came here
John left it unwashed

If you make it to the falls
In the moonlight
Like hair hanging from a tower,
They say you can see
Firebirds at the bottom of the cove

Who was
The singer?
The dancer?
The runner?
The daughter?

Five fingers from the ground
Ten to build a church
Five fingers from the ground
Call the chorus to the west

Pull by fading light
Push the neck where the head lays
Keep your coins, ready, dive
As the sun bruises the sky
Before slinking away
Fingers break to reach
To promise God's embrace
Follow to the falls
Where dreams still float
Bloated and beloved
