On the wane

by Jim Sharp

but in the meantime
the earth trembles beneath
the foundations stones
tearing at the charter laid down
by the empires founding fathers

spectral ancestors & decadent descendants
screech & howl & squeal like terrified
stuck pigs at slaughter as the bare bones
edifice along with all their dreams of a
worldwide imperium disintegrate painfully
