The Spire of Acrocorinthus

The
lowly beggars
of the meadow sway
In rolling currents
By high decree the price of life they pay
Unjust deference
To stone-souled lords of rust and blood who reign
Tortured unrest
Defeated kings
their backs drawn stiff with pain
Winter's bequest
The sun of dawn
approaches from the east
And orbits low
As this realm reels back into the beast
By ebb or flow
So from the meadow rises up a spire
Against the odds
And on its peak
a jagged shard of fire
To judge
the
gods
