xxxiv. News from War<br />
Small bombs half-made lie among<br />
icons & manifestos. In the other room<br />
a lone singing, self remembers & soothes self.<br />
Once, at a signal, we too hid our children<br />
under the family’s prize piano, listened<br />
to small heartbeats impossibly quick. No more.<br />
<strong>The</strong> singing stops. Listens. Picks up<br />
another clay dish. Resumes the song<br />
about a forgotten town, in flames.<br />

xxxv. One and All<br />
Not demand of world an answer &<br />
thus not build an answer’s world<br />
Hunger, not cloak it like a slattern’s bauble.<br />
Fear, what it does not teach or tell.<br />
Death, the hard rift in any explain.<br />
Or wash free with the stars in morning light.<br />
