GLIMPSES OF ICE, Syria 2015
... They will have us yet –, hanging
Like the last citadel.
Crude and un-gamely, our resonance
Will sit amid dust motes and flax.
Behind un-lettered doors only
The rats must pay us mind and
The caretaker, quixotically imagine
Ghosts and uprisings.
Come back and into a lost design
Will lead the transmutation:
How the walls must fall to our final
Filial ear –, and adjudicate
That stylographs should have
Seen us
Arsenal bearers... not
Diplomats!
RAW SILK
Oh! Christ, it screamed. Someone’s
Screaming...
Can’t you hear?
‘But for you, I could,’
The scream
Replied.
