429. THE ROOF IS COMING DOWN

THE ROOF IS
COMING DOWN

(Soundproof)

Hanging too high, the midstream winces,
calling out home for what is behind.
Someone pacing, like a chivalric hero
below, lifts the crest of one King or
another. Battlements met are battlements
set; on this field it hardly matters.
The blood is just now leaving
your eyes.
