By Angela Louise McGurk, 2017


Tears gleamed in red and gold,

Bright mirrors to the flame,

Dancing about its wick

As waxen, flesh became,

And melted into shrunken hollow,

Where tears will ne'er stain.

Where now, silent wanderer?

What fields are left to walk,

Seeking halls which thunder,

When the mute men talk?

Memory drifts in thickening fog,

Thought makes a final call,

Greed and hunger devour

'Till insatiable, they fall,

As fury's widow weeps

Againstfury's funeral pall.
