Masks

Williams Burns would plough soil, his son practiced vowels alluding to embryonic verse, he had a dream about staring into a loch near four trees that were shedding leaves. The moon made an imprint Roberts' death mask,then a poet made the mask cry through spoken verse shedding tears over four countries. Agnes Burns passed away, the faint imprint of a mask laid on waters,Robert Burns muttered an incantation, the winds mingled with the death masks sinuous breath as it followed a poets words. Robert Burns collected two roses that passed each other on a river and caught two tears that crossed each other on opposite faces to warn in a distinctive accent of thorn approaching thorn, the scent of revolution was carried from France- the faces of it's dead appeared on a river next to a burning forest.
