This stanza, especially, is epic. I don't know why you tagged it micropoetry? (mainly because I don't know what that is). The chilling stillness of it, then interrupted. 'the intaglio neatness of stone walls' is so precise and carefully chosen. I find it rare to read epic rather than lyric poetry, so it's doubly interesting.
