deaths and the death of a ruling class

 deaths and the death of a ruling class


the quince of tears in this blue range

are falling one after one as one

the tributaries are there as one

becomes another and another death

drips to coalesce into a stream

that condolences cannot stem that

cannot dam the flow that now 

is as irate as a cataract 

flowing into a lake of such a pressure

that something has to give

and although they will not say what

will give we say

watch it burst forth in a torrent

that will sweep them all away

and as the delta silts

so will a new day dawn

truly as truly it will
