Globe

Not a sonnet, the Globe was his closet

Changing stages being the given chances

Worst fallen we scribble into existence

Famewards. But attend to it, exit prone.

Windows burning all the night

As words turned paper to tragedy.

His family alone in rivery country,

His pen finding fault in persons.

But harder to refute, the right

In anyone’s argument, their turning belief

And silences that like hours seem.

Fitting each phrase in its spiral down

To nothing, up to the flags’ array

Watching for his choice moment, Mercy.
