bombay...

the waves crashing against the rocks
the energy unmatched, unthinkable
the waves...
they are huge
unbound and strong
yet frustrate themselves trying to take over the city
the city...its buildings stand tall
overlooking, assessing the waves in their regalia
mocking them in their space
"back off"...they say
it is night time in the city
and lights reflect on the waves, the sea is never calm
maybe it takes from the city's throbbing energy
so full that it engulfs all
all that come into that ever-sprawling city
adding suburbs after suburbs to its expanse
claiming the sea too
for land to house us all
who come to it to be consumed
taken away, swept away
