A QUESTION OF TIME

In our dreams starlings fly roundelays
above a city of ruins and tumble down
down into invisible trees
confused but alive
 
Out of the dust blots at first
what seems a starling
what is a drone— 
ah here in these streets seven hundred years old
the disappointments of modernity patrol
 
Someone                       is shouting
you never knew
