2:30 and the threat of rain.
Yellow skies and unspoken words and
the clock running backwards in this room
where we no longer touch.
The starving hung with barbed wire.
Wait.
I know this song.
Have sung it to my children even as
politicians were placing tarnished coins
over the blind eyes of other men's daughters.
A beautiful sound in the back of my
throat that exists only to be devoured by crows.
The hand of God reaching down from an
empty sky in the form of a bomb.
The only true power we have
which is the power to take away.
