DIRGE
Sun,
The
Moon
Lost
sons
Ravaging
monsoons
Uncharted
ships
The
wide wide room
No
narrow road here
No
sticks and stones
No,
We
left them home
Just
sad songs
Long
long staring swords
Minced
sad words
Grinding
chattering
Falling
men on horseback
Screaming
women and bloodstains
Fearful
doom dawns
Deathbed
Old
men and women now swoon
Moved
by the dance of death
