1485

~

1485 doesn’t sound a lot

these days, when some lesser 

men are measured by their billions,

1485 doesn’t sound a lot

but here in defiance they stand 

in ghostly silhouette always 

at the ready,

1485 steadfastly waiting

for the chance to see 

one more sunrise 

1485, say it quickly

it doesn’t sound a lot
