gnawed by light

Red Winged black birds shout,
Their ancient melody, Spring!
Ladies, come to me.

Fighting for their proper place
To be the next read

rain soaked hillside

Applause, sharp, sudden:
hail and sleet hammer skylight;
the gods are angry.

Even the sky tires

the world in turmoil
antisocial technocrats
chaos for profit
Gathering new books
The shelves are become heavy
Now, to sit and read

White and grey wavelets,
pink buoys bobbing, sea murmurs:
ageing audience.
Black birds in bare trees
Hopping branch to branch, calling
For leaves to return

The sun hides again
An endless cycle, hide then not
As the chill winds blow

hunched winter
blanketed by cloud
the small world

Mightier than swords:
more than brute force ever will,
words can sway beliefs.
