Mouldering in the air

John Brown, bitter-hued
beard rippling
battering at presumption
overriding all reason.

Leaving out each answer
hurling bloody questions
firing drama and denunciation
at all comers, in every season.

A stand once taken
not to be retreated
from or further into.
His barricades no pose, no position.
