My Uncanny Sighs of Distress and the Tears of Tribulation
I’m in distress
I can’t express

My tears are diamonds in...

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.
