and as this our song dissolves
into the day........the uncreated day!
the ("presented-to-us day")
..........
the day before the HURRICANE
..........
we have known for years!
.
YES
WE HAVE KNOWN
....
be we never dared to face
our family
our children
with our face but only with THEIR face!
.....
(and now
......the HURRICANE...)
and .......... faces and lives
erased!
---------------------
the "i love you's"
unspoken
the plastic flower "reasons"
for......
LAW
betrayed
HEALING
betrayed
ART
betrayed
(the saints the greatest traitors of all!)
.........

all is known
grace has flown
we remain
.
..
...
..
.
the HURRICANE
we
BLASTED
remain
we
REMAIN
..........
if it is not too late
-----------
"i love you"
IT SHALL REMAIN
i promise you
