igniting the sudden truth of it
remembering
recounting
everywhere just everywhere
the mourning of the dead
and the struggle to have life
just life
never mind a latte laptop dsl dvd verizon horizon of
pharmaceutical sleep
just even a heartbeat
and holding on in a time of letting go
it's the least very least and the first thing I can do
to recount the untold dead
staring back at us
recounted
shocked and set aflame
and how awesome the might of the soulless blowing
children into bits
and how resilient the souls of children
throwing stones at the empire
and so when folks say "oh erin don't cut your hair,
its so pretty
it'll take so long to grow back"
I'm thinkin
what is it to the crater of bomb and reconstruct
what is it but an arms length of history holding on in
a high wind of urgency
and what are we
but a small group of raging beautiful people
what are we
but a ripple in the ocean of hope and resilience
now a title wave encroaching.
