The wagging tongues, the sudden deaths, in signs

In signs that can’t be helped, geese heading south,
In signs read anxiously, like breath that clouds
A mirror held to a barely open mouth,
Like telegrams, the gathering of crowds\u2014<\/p>\n

Before the whistle and hit, a tracer flare;
Before rubble, a hairline crack in plaster
And a housefly’s panicked scribbling on the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
