It Wasn’t

How long ago was
Anything that was
Not the property

Of the invaders
Already? The light
In the sky that night,

How deformed was it?
The burning candle
Gifted from the thrift

Store in the dying
Segment of downtown,
How nubbly was it

Around the black wick
You lit and blew out
In it? This nonsense

With the beginning
Of the temporal,
Rhythmic, circular?

The sky turned orange
And a neighbor said,
That’s it, but no.
