May 2019
The dead lie like Rome,
Like toppled sunshine in stone,
From a boy who had blown
Into the seashell of the Forum,
Heard back in restoning, the alley of home,
The narrow, basket-flowered angiportumโ€ฆ
But, lips too strong, let out unknown
The stone-witherings of Medusa
And the bone dust of empire.
