Youth by day,
son of ancient thought,
he said,
I pronounce the despised.
Consumptive intruder
depair, would this span
to petiton, noise to sleep by.

A composition depicted
so like the staff, glorious
polished screen, more so
by this tremor establish plan
or arms stand.  Bearer of
the lance, march beneath
the gate, held up or advance
to the keep.  And this messsage,
messenger eat.

Metal, jagged, brandished
moment to moment,
each holder holding on
to time more, each anger
crawling, sliding by
as we look on, entranced.
What state, what land
crows  the past
knows the whole
visits glass to sand.

mirror man....good to see you posting again.  As always, a troubling and thought provoking read...especially liked the last part:
"What state, what land
crows  the past
knows the whole
visits glass to sand."  

Indeed!

Martie -- and I missed you all too.  Haha!  I don't really know what this is about.  I'll tell you the truth, I've been avoiding posting because a lot of what I write doesn't make sense until later.  It gets to be unnerving.  

passing shadows -- thank you very much.  I'm always glad you've taken time to read and reply.  And if it makes sense to you, you're welcome to tell me what it is.  Really.
