There’s a man
the silent world claims as Noah,
standing at the cliff’s edge,
looking down on us
as we crawl across each other,
his measurements already taken,
the wood already cut;
he’s waiting for the word
he knows is coming,
feels it in the tightening of the misty air,
the word he heard before
when we were so less civilised
than we now are.
