CRIED havoc for Empire, future dogs of war slipped loose,
MACRO level unseen, supremacy’s haughty
ARMOR blocking sight beyond the now. So:
SHEIKs wooed, discarded like engine parts for moments of ambition, no true destination in view.

PANIC in Emperor’s guard;
METAL bars sawed through,
AGATE disc, reverenced cosmic
MODEL: gone. The earth trembles.

VINYL hoard, worn and crackly, songs of generations past,
DOWDY house’s ornament slipped through time to dated,
STEINway unplayed, yellowed sheets mid score on stand,
PANELed library guarding books known to a mind departed.
