on the silent disorder of men

When asked, in a manner
put simply as straight-forward,
a man's knees move toward
raising high a white banner.

Once proclaiming silent peace,
he quickly lowers his head,
his thoughts of the woman dread
that her feelings for him cease.

Being denied of response,
she removes from a sconce
(quite hastily) a torch off the wall,
and blazes a path down the hall,

alone.
