Off the bus climbing
A hill an abandoned
green-house six conspicuous young
Men hush as you
Pass the forest reveals
A park graves for
Soldiers stepped straight plots
Under the stone torch
Five-pointed star a woman
Fiercely defiant the police
Man has removed badges
And weapons nods to
You foreigner odd booted
Man queerly dressed stranger
Another group of young
Men wielding great dogs
Leashed clean and healthy
The sky is virgin
Rose stacked over autumn
Gourd bright ball blood
Tongue wrapped forest fires
Filter most setting wet
Cement atop raw coal
Ancient ice heading back
Past the markers boys
Hide bong from sight
Bright blue garbage can
Watching do you care
To care down hill
Back past wrong stop
