The Town Army

On the train At the end of An ancient empire. Travelling with An altogether Different army Than the one That built a wall And spoke Latin. An ill omen flirts With the railing ‘One for Sorrow’ A lone magpie I reach to salute Then realise He is not alone And could never be so, Not in this city.
