along a line,
axial shift.
leaden feet,
demon neat.

bundles; too many!
jumbled arrangement,
ordered loss.
the rain fell,
tumbling gains.

Acrobats in the air,
Fire driven hard and rare.
The many left replete,
A few favoured beyond care.
There beneath the tongues creep,
Broken,
Shattered,
Pressured,
Ready to weep.

None to be had
For the scrambling sad.
