one day we will remember




The sun we burried between our fingers
The sand before us
The dead dog
The unripe fruit
The white houses
The fire
The sound of broken glass

for we are not dreaming


The new light hunting us down in a heavier language
will hurt
The white scar around unborn children returning home between the wounds
will hurt

Oh my. This is something a bit special. Personally I think this reflects the mood on Inauguration Day. Bookmarked.

Powerful words! Your style of writing remind me so much of Pablo Neruda--one of my favorite poets. Good poem. We will remember.
