Dissolving (Day 1461)


truth and justice demanded

voice again   again   starved 


for a language of our own   

we   nevertheless   offered all 


we had   frozen with fear   

no means to measure this 


sweet-bitter story   these 

languid   shattered years   


dissolving   in despair   in joy   

the world we knew   


a single thread of pale sand   

rippling   glistening   end to end   


on which we   trying 

to chart a new way home   


imagine forgotten tapestries   

and trace unwritten poems
