Parent message is 48113
sometimes time
leaves no word for us
to sing

and to walk among these stones
on this crumbling earth
is to hear nothing
but ourselves
walking in fear
and in the sound
of death
lingering in this
lethal now

groping along these walls
in clandestine steps
so as not to
wake the moment

take care, judih

i am worried
