swirling against
Commentary:
those leafs are still gently swirling against the concrete shore,
as the endless circles of car horns, lovers, and cracked desires
find thier way into the lake,
a suffocating beauty of pollution:
`
swirling with the same poetry that has run through everything, before
eyes began brightly, then comfortably, opening.
`
long,
long before the words form
were shaped into a modern payday
of past and present.
`
that lake has always been speaking this quiet
but perfect language.
it finds its way through the leafs,
to break light through desire.
`
and that plastic bag so brutally thrown into it may be the final suffocation. but
somehow forgiven and woven,
creating new words for a new world.
`
our product in the great stupidly of animal necessity,
is short.
`
but the lake will whisper on long after the lovers have left.

sorry last time i'll post this. final edit.

never say never. I really like this, but here are a few corrections that are needed:
leaves, not leafs
their, not thier
"to break light through desire" is incoherent to me, but I absolutely love that line
use a parenthetical around "so brutally thrown into it"
stupidity, not stupidly
comma between on and long in the last line, or simply remove on
