SKETCH

 

Wind has blown this crowd of atoms 

Into saints, soldiers, a man half-naked

And lying on the ground and an angel

With a drawn sword. They urgently seek

Ways of not being unmade again. The saints

Talk of resignation; the angel

Preaches resistance; others urge some way

Be found to discover what language

The wind speaks and what words 

Might move it to pity or break its stubborn heart.
