Vicariate

Day's last gasp.
The city sighs smoke
from every rooftop,
loosening and binding
relation.

                         Later, under 
                         caul of cloud,
                         fireworks explode 
                         a rainbow of bruises
                         trembling like pain
                         'cross night's 
                         veiled face.

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night."
