IRON AGE TROY

The sea withdraws, pulls back

like an enemy force -

the siege of the town over

the ploughman brings his reforged

sword to where the great ships swam;

now those waves

distant glimmer of blue

from the hilltop still rising

with every burning,

earthquake & refounding,

Wilusa, Ilion, Troy

the inland sky its goal now.
