After----
Manhattan by Lola Ridge
Out of the night,you burn, burn,
City’s attraction and fame
attracting vast tourists like
A sudden flame, numinous
In its burning through :
Capturing markets and trade centers
Just as Gold in uppermost corners
Shining with a glow and spark;
Jades and blues
almost fanning
Sky’s jubilant star kingdom.
Diaphanous gold in tall towers,
in stock markets
and chambers
Of commerce and storied buildings
change hand to hand in different modes.
Trading soaring
into dizzy heights!
Nebulous gold, example of ephemeral
glory and vanishing principles rampant
in gambling and business shifts and lifts
mechanical in up and down exercises.
Still you glow glow into
ever-increasing charm
of full blown harvest nodding.
