down ~ by Jesse Glass
down
it came
down
from the
autumn sky
down
it came
down
& everyone
rose
& wept
in the city
(my city)
& some were
flying
& some were
falling
& some were
running
& some were
burning
where were you
listening
watching then?
in the
shattered
earth?
in the broken
air?
in the oily
fire?
in the tainted
sea?
where were you
listening
watching
then when
everyone
rose & lookt
at the sky
lookt at the sky
where they
stood
in my
city
& wept ?
I remember.
How could I forget?
