The Dark Knight

[tectak]

There are things about the poem talked about in the other comments that you should look into, as you said.

And concerning the subject matter, when I read it, I figure you mean the beast is the city, and the darkness and horrors in the hearts of its people.

Yes,rowens. Methinks you are right. Look, let's start a new movement. We let the poets post their stuff and the we tell THEM what its all about.
Best,
tetak
