I wrote this on the same day as "Learn the Methods." It's the same as that and is an example of the Tomes of Poetry.


Never watched our breath so closely;
We all have changed in the plague year.
We stand vigil over whispers.
Deny or not, we move in fear,
We stand vigil over whispers.

In spite of viral infernos
We can sunder crowns and collars
Sigh relief in a free red dawn.
