Oratory On Dirt


Oratory On Dirt

A younger man built a platform to hang
a noose, never expecting heels would swing
with friendless wind. An audience would gather,
not for his oratory, but see glint blade sever
chords from a misused head. His corpse in heat
to rot beneath a grey mound,
eaten hollow from inside.

Bleed words; waste not one, if they won't listen.
Who gives a fuck anyway. If a silent chorus
drowns the single voice, sharper notes sing
from hills on their way deep to the valleys
and choral heavens where truth is appreciated.
This is the time to set moths free,
now that he's dead in your heaped dirt.
