CONSILIENCE


To those who have endured
and found nothing but the mount
of plasticity,
the fading troubadour inside the iron gate--

Are you not ready to hold the ivory dust
against the breeze?

Rip apart the cloth that once held tight
before the sun?

Where have you gone, soldier,
and who will take your place?
