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—
