Bricks of Fury (Year by Year)

By Year by Walter Burns

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The road was long It passed me quick The time it took I paved the brick I made the road For what I meant The years, I don't Think where they went For each I earned And each I paved Not e'er a thought Of words engraved One brick was made So that I'd stumble Until it's time Nothing crumbles The sun, it's wealth The words so clear As if a bird Had bent my ear She said to me What lovers told That in this piece Are streets of gold I lay on brick The last in barrow And hurled my fury At the sparrow Washed in moon's beam The last brick shattered I wasted nothing On what won't matter The moon, it's stealth The words, i peer And forge the brick On year by year © on Jul 02 2001 01:05 PM PST   0 • 8
