The Men Are Coming Back!
They say the men are Coming back. An elder Reports her daughter, out For the morning manna, As having seen short columns At the foot of the hills.
There is a loosing of Muscles and a dampness In the palms of some hands. Inexplicably, the children Begin to shout. Some of the Elder women bolt the doors.
How did she know? asks Someone. Know they were Men? Instinct, says a Harridan in yellow lace. Does it matter? There are Few movements to defence.
Even as they watch the Elders scent defeat. Some Of the younger are spitting Upon the red cloth cover Of a book, rubbing the Dye across their untouched lips.
Barry Cole.
