Aftermath

There’s something stagnant in the day’s slow heat
It lies unnoticed by plodding feet

The air is there, though somewhat near
Hanging loosely in abated fear

But upon the wall the magpie sits
No scream or shout, but passing flits

Electric buzz of the cold hard screen
Reminds once more of what has been
