Hear the voice of their god as they twitch
Somnolence and discomfort prevail
Silent bones in a crumpled display
Peaceful corpse of a deadly poison

See them locked in the pose of defeat
snoring nose- still’d eyes- silent voice
Thousands frozen in corpulent time
As they wait for their planes to arrive
7-22-23, experimenting with anapestic trimeter

When will April Showers
Bring me some May Flowers?
My buds all but cower;
Dormant even in spring.

When will June's desire
Bring me July's fire?
Warmth could take me closer
To when we both were kings.

Summertime is coming;
When spring comes I will sing:
Take it easy, Lover,
Until I find my wings.
Wait for me.

My blindness killed my youth;

I am not made of you.

If you would see the truth,

Then you could know it too.
Iambic trimeter
