The bell rings
not from the church
not from the temple.
The bell rings incessantly
not an alarm
not a phone .
The bell rings with great sound
neither from the fire brigade
nor from the city tower.
The bell rings violently
it being a call
it being a siren.
The bell chimes vehemently
warning everyone to hide
hurrying all to go underground.
The bell’s sound
takes various cues
whilst this rings fear.
