Poem for Turkey and Syria

Walk passed: glassy sea

Silent black  

     a cry

 

Dust of air 

 whiten alga under rubble and rubble

   

*


Earth

Crushed shattered

Solemnly / in bleaches

    Flash / alive

Lying / mumbled: pray

In wait

 

*


Boulder

Within: among: the last embrace 


Whispers / fragments to dawn

Faith  rounded in air—
