The Distance Horn

Afar away I hear a horn
The calling of my laconic mourn
The illusion alluring endeared corn
     I know I’ve been there before.

For this day that I live, I lock
Trying to girdle, to strengthen the dock
I only imagined I could lack no shock
    For this day, I wish to be there.

It’s the distance horn of my ancestors I recall
  Their moments of life, their ball
-This day’s nakedness, vacancy, pollution and fall
     That I wish those of today would care.
