Colossus

Colossus

November 3, 1998

Monolithic,

A sharing of cool stone

While position and place

Is avarice alone.

The mountain rumbles,

Boulders dance and do,

Opponent, incumbent.

Composite bugaboo.

With a crumple of the clift

Downtrodden are those

Draped in elective lure -

Wanton woes.

Eleven and three

Should be Morse Code,

For flanking marks, scripts in a box.

Unscathed stays the node.

Parlous partition;

Geography will rue

Division shields a shield.

Cry, who's who.

Nyet.

Je ne sais quoi

Inter nos

N'est - ce pas?

The process in favor

Is the order of the day;

Still knells

For a cathartic way.

Mountain, now a stomp,

Bleed needlessly, land.

To regrow is constructive

Mend new your hand.
