Gargoylian poets

Winding windy windows
in an old medieval castle
a grotesque gargoyle
an architectural function
of human foibles and fun
drowning out the slave labor
of stone cutters' dangerous job

Words wound up will
remain eternally dangerous
an uncanny understanding
of making jest of dictators
and their egocentric quirks
drumming up a storm
for the powerful to plunge
