The Shining Suit of Times Long Past
A suit of armour
stands alone
on a crowded street
many gilded faces
adorn its shining helm
cracks abound
rust creeps
up and in
from its extremities
as well as
a tear
a diamond droplet
falls inside
landing
next to the shriveled
effective corpse
of a child
of a small boy
frozen in fear
of danger that passed
many years past
