Power Lines

The numbers were going up
    and hallowed men were no-
         more saints.

You find that your shirt
    was stained. Now fear creeps-
         under the skin.

You come near each other in-
    dark. Reverting yourself you talk
          to strangers.

Against the wall of water as 
     high as your ego. Epidural abscess-
            a silence of unknown.

Now, every hour you die. Light
     abducts the dreams. Nothing to-
            talk about the blitzkrieg.
