Biggest, blackest vultures perched above the headstones Unbending sin collectors sipping through the nectar Ripping through the silver Leave but ashes, purple Bruises hot and breathing unfeathered throats, excited Talons drop like fountains beaming bright and red as blood Penny wishes sinking under oath and God above The meal is hot and ready Can only vultures stomach the melted shouts of children the deadened eyes of mothers the headless walking fathers Biggest, blackest vultures elegant as navy Irony collectors clean of human peeling Of napkin trees, a shading Their beaks are white and shining Underneath the highest flag of their tender country

Vultures
Biggest, blackest vultures perched above the headstones Unbending sin collectors sipping through the nectar Ripping through the silver Leave but ashes, purple Bruises hot and breathing unfeathered throats, excited Talons drop like fountains beaming bright and red as blood Penny wishes sinking under oath and God above The meal is hot and ready Can only vultures stomach the melted shouts of children the deadened eyes of mothers the headless walking fathers Biggest, blackest vultures elegant as navy Irony collectors clean of human peeling Of napkin trees, a shading Their beaks are white and shining Underneath the highest flag of their tender country
Happy inauguration day.
