THE TIME CLASP OF SAINT AGNES' DREAM

Fierce angel mounted
women in the service
             of the sun

                                Gunlight shouted
'cross the river of the storm

There were fine gentlemen
bleeding from their knees

There were elegant thieves
killed in context

Drifters of the sudden sort
fastened at the feet

She enters
                    fleshed in silk

and bound in silence.
