THE GLASS FURNACE

Aged  .  almost mummified
the concordat of armor
slashes through the battlements
of winter wait

He holds the pen
perched like an eagle
angered by the social graces
collaspsing with mad laughter
 
If he is fed
    he will die of bloated gratitude

He will hunger

calling it the last
white feast of solitude.
