running splash of rust
and gold - flung and scattered
among seven hills like broken
china in the sun.'

The poem is a short, vivid, and emotionally evocative piece that captures the essence of the city. It utilises musical language, imagery, and a compact poetic style, which are hallmarks of lyricism. Rather than narrating a story or praising a hero, the poem expresses the poet's aesthetic feeling and personal impression of the city.
