I'm #listening to #redrising and no shade to the #literary craft of the series but I really #dislike the #roman #trope. It shows a lack of imagination in my #opinion. And I feel the same way about #suneater.

when late winter returns
home your inmate
in your nightgown
with your candle kneel
beside your bed and shiver
after you go to bed
after you go to sleep
when the horizon's become a purse
that today's early summer's
returned her sun to
when the warm breath
of today's spring's been
expelled from your chamber into the
late winter's dawn at dusk
the cold air seeps into your cell through
gaps between the casing and the shutter
between the door frame and the door
through cracks
in mortar and masonry he oozes
in inhaled
the late winter returns
home not to warm you out of your bed
but to freeze you in -

march past the man who
sags outside the door against the wall
he with the eyes full of storm on the horizon
that measure the soil on the clothes and the wear
the number of teeth in the mouths of those who pass
the men who enter and the men who go out
until the sight of one as poor as he causes
the dark clouds in his eyes to reverse themselves
until he asks friend can you spare a heller
that one for that one also leave
a place in the contract for his name -

walls of masonry and brickwork
that all wednesday were
damp darkened by rain wash
through all the hours of sunrise
today
those housefronts and market
stalls were shadow tinted
but now that sunless hue recedes
down those walls like a tide
now those walls are sunlight shaded
like mortar like mud at midday
go to that dark monastery where i live
and i’ll pay for your daily bread
walk like one who knows
the time between the shades is short -

rapidly from a dusk shaded
cobblestone garden from where
many youthful voices had climbed like vines
and the youthful laughter of many had bloomed
rapidly changed
to a street fallowed for the night where
the students who were
the seeds from where all those voices
and all that laughter had sprouted
the students had gone home
and the avenue had become
a bared road through a shadow
a shadow that
had at first lengthened
first darkened into schlossstrasse
then lengthened and darkened out
of the beggar square that all night
waited for bread and for brew
lengthened darkened
past the windows of linen and parchment
oiled and dim lit extinguished
past the shuttering of houses
past the university
and the students in the dormitories who’d
pulled the blankets to their chins
past this old monastery
and the professors who lived here then
and then wrote midnight lectures
here by candlelight
as the shadow lengthened
darkened into nightfall at the eastern wall
the one who’d drawn
the watch that night came
closed the eastbound road out
locked the elster gate and began
to walk his rounds -
