581 birds revolving on spikes

 The pigeons 

Made dead circles for

The man's gun

580

 With these bones

With these arms and legs

Withstanding

history

Like packaging words

We don't read

578 Three ways of talking (and thinking)

POWER SPEECH
Puts to death
Claims the very throne
Hears no one

DELUSIONAL SPEECH
invents worlds
Makes rules that make knots
Is lonely

CONSOLATION SPEECH
skeletons
Side by side talking
With their hearts
