Question: Do we need to have a pass or something!?
Traffic in the dirge
flesh lights stop the flow
and a manacle swings
in the sloping lane!.

We make straw hats from golden leaves
that catch the rain!. Our crescendo drowns
before the piper can show us the sound
of feet that pound the sacred ground!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
