Among the injured concrete rubble, broken off flakes
creasing asphalt runs
death metal and exploding in flames
scarlet and crimson.
puppets puppets puppets move
steel wires covered with gunpowder in offices
isolated from any cry
silver pens that have signed it.
war games, games of conquest,
flies and vultures preying on
pawns while kings and queens, and bishops and rooks
in isolated offices signed by cries
[silver feather.
Meanwhile, a world of hot packs
covered with fine hands
sensitive ears and though they cry the children and mothers and women
they are isolated in their remote offices.
And while the ink runs full of good words
backslapping and light reprimands
blood is running in the streets
wounded and cleft asphalt cement.
