Heroes

Take home your heroes

That weep in triumph

At this lost battle in the wild wind

We’ll never know the quick rain

The hardship of being human

And tree-sap

On is all, on both sides

Nothing to be despised

Kill the monument

But don’t be fooled

About where these monsters come from

The forecast is an unquiet future

So there is false speculation

Beyond reckoning

To those enslaved and renounced

Laugh!! You humans, false inhabitors

There is a ledge of fine marble that

God carves great images into

Of war and plague and horror and beauty

The signature of His will
