a soulless estate

18:36 in poems by Tanner

a soulless estate
by tanner brockwell

a soulless estate
the green tract
street lighted bulwarks
the island minus the sand
the emptied hollow of the once were

once were once

and the shells without roar
of far far shores
are silent
in the roundabout way
cul-de-sac complete

once were once

the dark frames
will in weather
shift into the collapse
of follies and frivolities
gone but for gray foundation

once for once

once we were
the flit wind of flight
that stopped for rest
and carrying on carried
the soft message of advance
