trees
naked
and white far
away castles
in the platinum
forest painted silver
then the city bus belches
toxic filth into my lungs that
plead wildly and gasp for mercy then
catching my breath and thank the stars i’m home

I think the format is really good for this poem. It gives a feeling of distance woods and sweet air and then smog as you leave the bus. Took me right there.
