Dawn Beneath the Ivory Tower ------ Contest Entry
(draft ii)
A rivulet of light appeared,
-- the denouement of night was near.
The birds began to wake the years
-- for fools, and knaves, and cavaliers.
The denouement of night was near.
-- With feathered songs they hid their fears.
For fools, and knaves, and cavaliers
-- their fortunes, yet, were still unclear.
With feathered songs they hid their fears,
-- as stars began to disappear.
Their fortunes, yet, were still unclear,
-- and wise men taught their lessons q ueer.
As stars began to disappear
-- rivulets of light appeared,
while wise men taught their lessons q ueer
-- the birds were gone into the years.
