#1261 - every window's dark

 



1261

15.vi.23

4.167

every window’s dark

ekphrastic for Shadl Janos’ 1919 ‘A Város’ (‘The City’)

Pécs ekphrastic

 

this is the moment

one eye wide

 

a ruined road runs through your head

 

the world has only just been built

the world is falling apart

 

who can hold on?

there’s no further to weep

yet there’s worse to come

 

all tumble

the towers like daggers fall

 

churchbells will wring your neck

 

now every window’s dark

thus ends the golden age
