\nOh ribbon weaver
\nwhat did you weave in the war room
\nfor Coventry?<\/p>\n
\nfat Havana halos, the prophetic ligature
\nfor stained black saints.<\/p>\n
\nthe mauling wolves embed our moon
\ntorn against our spire.<\/p>\n
\na child they thought was a beam
\nwas younger than your brandy.<\/p>\n
\nwhat will you weave for Dresden
\nfrom Coventry\u2019s stone elbows?<\/p>\n
\nthey named after you
\nwhistled like a soldier,<\/p>\n
\nyour carbonised legacy.
\nFat Man, fire, criminal.
