ranks and rows of waiting silent figures
clay creations defend a tomb
colorless lifeless surely worthless
fight battles in dimension of death
meanwhile back in the oven yeast breathes
beating back sterile lifeless odor
puffs dough to bread
comestible daylight streams in
soul feast seen in shining snow
I rejoice and dance within
starlings and gulls flutter beyond
no lack of gratitude evident
so what life beyond did monarch seek?
wars and enemies sought once again?
crimson spills on February snows
in dimension beyond the veil?
