Clare NicholsonMs. GardnerEnglish 10H, Period 24 December 2014Laying Down a Carpet

This land is blemished With imperfections. From far away, These buildings Are rocks andPebbles, making theGround uneven.Come watch as we Smooth the land. Come watch as we Lay down a carpet.These pebbles of Houses will be gone, As will their occupants.Everything will shatterInto the sky, and rain back down. Ashes will fall, And they tooWill be like a carpet.It will be barren, beautiful, and black. Come watchAs we lay down A carpet. Come watchAs we finish furnishingYour old home.
