The Dead Man's Bells
"We are here"
He shouted from crisp lips
A deep articulated freshness
climbed the glossy sky
future timed
night broken
A friendly brawl with
the valley whore woke the
man's white throat
"You have brought me the world"
Beyond the leaves and trees
the air appeared to understand
A mocking bird from nearby spoke
and the dead man's bells echoed
in silent laughter.
