“Never tell me that not one star of all
That slip from heaven at night and softly fall
Has been picked up with stones to build a wall.”

called Wormwood rose and flickered, shattering
bent light over the dead boiling up in the ground,
the biting yellow their corrupted lives
streaming to war, denying all our words.”
