PART THREE

FOUND

 

On the wing, the new flock of black kaviks attacked smaller whipperlings as they discovered them. Circling, they watched the brown bodies drop to the clouds, before continuing to the next tower, and then another.

TREASON (revised)

The city betrayed, whether Council or quadrant,

Removes danger with unceasing might.

None are exempt, none immune.

To preserve the city,

all excise blight.

WAR

No tower will sabotage or war

With neighbors near or far.

We rise together or fall apart

With clouds below, our judge.
