Voyage to SPADE
They'll be used; and played
Mountains seem to retreat
What will be 'neath the rot & rust
Merchants ignoring smoldering port
Transport goods by ember lamps
Before the world drops off into nothing
Screed black-grey rainbow
Sword and sandal clamour
Envoy to the kingdom of sheep
Trade for straw and clay
In the court of their three-horned king
Faux voussoirs catch up
Racing on in-laid track
Pass torch to cut paver
Along the drunken soldiers
Sieving stone in a colander
Tamper the screening
Diving in shipwreck of rock
Pry chest lid for the keystone
To our fallen arch
Feel the mortar crumble in my knuckles
They won't see the builder
And I won't see the pilgrims
On this walkway
