ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοί*

dreams descend
into the night
death breaks out
with the dawn
abandon hope
when you wake
dance upon
the broken ground

evening sings
its hateful song
white flags turn black
while kettles brew
and hatred dives
down from the skies
and feasts: a wake
in mourning’s dew

*there will be gathered the vultures
