Death and the Silent places

this
old music
from my childhood

they
had a
war on too

glittering
High Renaissance
it seems now

between
the first
and second cup

ruins
i have
dragged boot across

they
thought we
would visit stars

stars
our children
shall be serfs

this
passionate music
to be free

warm
in my
hands the cup

empty
the dark
and the cars

all
the same
movies but sharper
