Power<br />
What cross between humble & thrust<br />
will blow out the great green sparkles,<br />
will bring a prosperity’s shimmer near &<br />
worth swinging & suffering <strong>for</strong>? Faces tangle<br />
between wish & want, hunger swarms by<br />
noon, the night eats every weak impulse blood & bone.<br />

When blood knows not blood, when fists<br />
gird squalling streams & manless acres,<br />
when the common high is crushing another’s<br />
path with scythe of coins, run, stumble, &<br />
run again. Nightmares plenty await <strong>for</strong> every<br />
laughing vengeance, mirthful stories of ruin by tavern’s blur.<br />
