Vercengetorix on the Verge

 

I. - Gergovia

Spinning skulls among flowers,

Gauls defending

deeds with plural - “We!”

 

II. - Rome

Limp bulbs in a tower

bulky and bending,

needs met too thoroughly.

 

III. - Alesia

Simply cull pride and cower,

sulk in the rending

weeds below enduring trees.

 

IV. - Tullianum

Nimble gulls duck showers,

lull toward ending

creeds that burrowed in sleep.

 

V. - Auvergne

No simian power greater than fission.

No mending of a strangled vision.

Like you, furrowed dreams in the quick-prison.
