There is
Traffic
At dusk
& we are
Rushed out
Of buildings
We are
Standing
In line
We are
Waiting
For our
Faces
To return
To normal—
The eyes
Of a thousand
Befuddled
Pilgrims
Still shifting
In horror
The air
Is on
Their
Remarkable
Bones
A small
Light
Crawls
From
A ditch
The dead
Are like
Upended
Houses
