"We wait for fate beneath / Our sword of Damocles"


Poem Artwork

After One Before Another

Here between the hurricane
And 9 / 11 again
We wait for fate beneath
Our sword of Damocles
Hanging high hanging by
The skin of broken teeth
Confused brought to our knees
Where some pray where all say

An ill wind blows today

Anger shakes its iron rod
Waiting in the dark tonight
We look up and question God
Searching shattered dreams for light
Brother at the throat of brother
All against all back to the wall
So steep the height so deep the fall
After one before another
