Wires
Stretched from one lopped crucifix to another,
draughtsman-thin lines draw boundaries,
carve a sky like land.
Those are the real reins of power, up there:
performerless tightropes stringing
clouds above doomed cows.
They tether our now to a fossilised then –
freeing us to impress upon
Facebook and Twitter.
