Paper Mache Towns

Paper Mache Towns

Moulded paper.

Unfolding in vivid colours:

Mauve skies jeweled

With brilliant white clouds

A town we imagined 

For our offspring!

Paper Mache Towns

Devoid of machetes

And gunpowder.

Gothic churches, intricate synagogues and

Azure tiled mosques

Interlinking!

In commandeer!

Latticework of canopies!

Trees emareld green

Oaks, cypresses, acaisas of Ottomans

Pines releasing minty aromas

Lakes Azure, deep,  waves interwoven with cotton dreams

Tulips unfolding, billowing in silky terrains

No famines

For wheat are bountiful

No bounties placed 

On the heads of the liberals.

Caramel fields of corn.

Sunbeams shooting through our core

Healing  the ills of the yesteryears.

Can you: the omniscient 

Blow life

Into our paper Mache Towns?
