Fires
Ancient fires still
burning inside the temples
outside the porticos
and in the center of the agora
where the eloquent poet once
orated verses before
the paranoid oligarchy
expelled him from the city
paranoia, anxiety of fearful
thought, agony in numbers
images that still come to us
and nothing has really
changed over the eons
except the invention
of bullets to speed up
the general apathy
