Peter Pan And The Path Of Thunder
ShareBy Reuben Abati
Fanfare of drums, wooden bells; iron chapter;
And our dividing airs are gathered home.
This day belongs to a miracle of thunder;
Iron has carried the forum
With token gestures. Thunder has spoken.
Left no signatures: broken
Barbicans alone tell one tale the winds scatter.
