A monkey in a fez
dances among ruins of children
and radio operated slums.
Hoops of lightning
flower into gibbets and streetlights
mapped to a surrendered temple.
Guillotined whispers
submerged in a desperate tango
of one-way laughter
lames the incurable
collapse. Unfinished wounds
cull the eye-sight out.
A blind city survives
its walls and windowed scars
feeding on broken kites
scrapings of a pearled sky
dust the fragments of voices
lettering a last word.
