abandoned

by Richard Trotter

I came as a stranger in the cannon hall
and rose to the limits like a flare
above the sandy earth , untended
then fell as a slow dying cloud.

My soggy veins, now fatal
bow to the mournful distribution
of cold water through the centres,
inside me to shimmer in peace.

For I feel the fire of clammy sheets:
head fallen in remnants of wonder
no brooding kind shrapnel,
race up to find no one.
