Siren
A big black shadow laced with
red insides
comes from the Gulf
covers Troy and kills fishes
Then up to Shadowville.
I saw this with my own eyes
it looked cosmic and poison.
They got a whole building covered up
down the street.
Sit here and wonder
it's obviously torn assunder.
Two light glows
a siren singing
behind the trees
flirting and winking.
I hear the siren somewhere
then the church bell rings "one"
and the siren stops.
-Will Dockery (1997)
