Lovely Day for A Hanging

Wind came

            Hurled

                        From out

                                    Of cannon’s mouth,

Against

            Waiters

                        And Watchers

                                    And Garbage men.

Lovely day

            For a hanging,

Fine day

            for the dead

                        To come alive

                                    With wild stirrings.

Line connects

            The earth

                        With sky

                                    Myriad colors swing.

Crazy topsails

            fill with wind

                        Flap, Snap

                                    Coffees ready.
