Quiet Times

The sound again of walls--
their slowness sagging like the wet roof.

A carpet reaches out, crushed,
like a cab-hailing man on a dark bridge.

The green house
thrown atop the brick-layer's graves.

The new night sails
into a new, deaf low.

The air is full of falcons;
Good thing the clouds are full of bullets.
