Rewind to Byzantium<\/h1>\n

by Andrew J. Stone<\/p>\n

Fall.<\/p>\n

15 centuries
\ninto mosaic
\nhammered gold<\/p>\n

Let.<\/p>\n

blindness bleed
\nwar sounds dim
\npast, passing, or to come<\/p>\n

Overindulge.<\/p>\n

in the arms of sea
\nsailing her music
\nto shore<\/p>\n

Will we.<\/p>\n

evolutionize
\nwhatever lives
\non land
\nuntil they
\nfly no more<\/p>\n
