    A flock of brazen birds beguiled

    A flock of brazen birds beguiled
    The nature of the skies: the clouds
    Were billows of smothering sand,
    And the sun a smoldering coin;
    The angels drowned in sickly seas –
    Above trees anemic and bland.
    The rain was no rain, but hail
    Of feather and stone. And mankind,
    Beaten blind, crept on knee and hand.

    Have been enjoying your poems, Twota. Original, precise images.

    Is this what comes after Covid? Thank you for sharing. You have some dark imagery here.
