Today seeds claimed the city.
Millions, perhaps billions, drifted
through the streets like an alien invasion.
Nonchalantly they floated past pedestrians
and traffic, heading eastward towards,
perhaps, some pre-ordained location.
Each achene, purposeful, carrying its seed
under a sunlit pappus as though returning
a nature forgotten through the ages;
reminding us too, that, in time,
they will return to demolish the city,
to recolonize, restore.
