Where once
we looked to find
a shining star
is no more
light
on a longing face

where once
oceans turned
our heads
aloft in praise
now in silence burns
away
our memory flies

like earth
in the wind
no more seeds
may shelter
underneath
a drumming foot

nor searching hands
may find peace
again


*


dust blown fragments
inside our hearts align
ashes off lust to live
in harmony

whispered outlawed tunes
from scarcely nowhere
present

untouched faces tremble
in fear of unknown love
we hurt and cry

and no one remembers


“Why?”
