lean on their horns
clutching their wire parking space.
Let quiet descend, stone to the bottom
soon, a toreadorish cape swirl
& floatdown before settling
for their longer silent brood
foreseeing another cold fog no crow
able to fly above, just have to
sit it out—their hunched shoulders
silhouetted against the gray, total gray,
them, black monks, herd of obituary black
originals.
