Poetry Pavement

Hallowed Ground

Beneath the city’s hallowed ground,
Lie promises and memories drowned,
Bought from liars by the pound,
Dreams of hounds and kings uncrowned.

Towers overlooked by guards,
Gamblers playing with no cards,
Dancers, acrobats and bards,
Kind regards lie in shards.

Gods’ and jesters’ burial mounds,
Beneath the city’s hallowed grounds,

Lost things never to be found,
Beneath the city’s hallowed ground.
