Towers of Sighs |

Spears from skies stab hearts and wishes Feverish blows which tear our eyes Then tears extinguish flames of anguish Numbers grow of those who died In its glorious moment ecstatic Death preceded the livings doubt Now we live with fears unshackled Toast the reaper who waits without Stir the ready in the cauldron Mend the mighty fortress wall Raise the flag unfurl its glory Rise again to answer the call Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |

First verse sends me into the heat of battle . You gave a good account of it, vivid. Second verse gives us a look at those awaiting heir own deaths. But the last verse, with the waiting cauldron, and the flag being raised again "to answer the cause." Wonderful write! ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

It seems like the whole tragedy ruined us to this day. To be (feel) safer, we have to live in lock-down. An interesting chain of events in your poem. One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many. |
