Below the Horizon - Shallow ShameAgony be to society's demise

Oak
"Oak"
The guardians
stood around and
shook their heads
great thoughts
quivering
from the ground, roots up,
as if to walk
confidently
with great armies
yet hesitation
was witnessed
in their waving gestures

and touching
green crowns,
there they...

they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,
swallowed hole
in the...

1000s of years before
the crossing of curves
always seen to be
swimming upstream

before words, they are cast
in the...

Visit To AntietamAlone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.
