in the implausibility of it, as fast-moving clouds hush the moon,
the familiar strange spires and off-angles of architecture,
the definite fortitude of a bone-white and noctial courtyard

this is exactly how the armies will begin to descend

they are still in their corners
and in their neat careful packages, but i see
this is just how and where they will begin to descend:
over exact night-warding eaves out of moons that breathe
not taking advantage of mist, or whisper of sirocco, or dark

only traveling as crept was imagined
traveling as one, and traveling this way
