it's quiet now(a poem) by seyefar(m): 6:48pm On Nov 27, 2005 |
It is quiet now. The nameless officers for State Security shrug on their overcoats and head home through pre-dawn streets. Oiled locks turn, then turn again. The general snores. You will think it cold, the way it fingers open eyes, the darkened cheekbones, the blood between the legs. You will think it deaf as generals the way it stands beside the ones still dying and moves on. But see how weightlessly it gathers them, the gold curl and the ebony, with what tenderness the folded silence of the ribs. |
