Witness

Polished wood and plush
Brass fastenings
Stained glass ceiling
Leather sofas
Security video cameras.
Tremendous flame-formed cypresses.
The dragon nebula.
I will have no difficulty expressing
Sadness and extreme solitude.
A flock of black crows advances
Towards the unsteady foreground.
Pathetic disarray.
The figures of fate that
Come from the horizon.
Attempt to create
An arithmetical order
To resist disintegration.
Boiling orange froth
Of sunset over the city
Dissipating at the horizon
Into endless fields of mauve and lilac.
Until the sun goes and blessed darkness comes over
