Fear
Transformed
From

To
Yellow
Hit
Large
Areas
Of
The

Zones
Heaven
And
Earth
Poisonous
Lighting
To-night
Over
The
Windmills
Hanging
I
Heard
The
Nurse
The
Children

Alas
For
Me

I just came from the soporific poem ALL IS DUST, which like this one acknowledges the power, irresistable, relentless, of death, but it does so in whispers and we are lulled into accepting death the way we surrender to sleep. But this poem really emphasizes the iresistable and relentless. I was alert to the message, I wanted to stop reading but I was compelled by the stark rhythms to read to the end.
