The Call
Maggie Devers
They woke in slumber
And settled in the streets
They counted transgressions
Like it was food to eat
The blaze furled down the mountain
A glass bottle cried over the din
The flare dissipated in the sky
A subtle shock of warning slowly drifting by
What have they learned here?
What fate will be revealed?
To the jagged, humbling masses
Suddenly filled with zeal?
