.    Because You Cannot



  You can silence our voices

   You can quench our fires
  
     You can seal our wells

   You can darken our days

  You can shorten our nights

  You can burn our libraries.

    You can knock our walls.

                   But!

    On every brick, in every

    Mound, a word is written,

     and one day, a Jig-Saw

     of Masonry Lego will be

Assembled, then, everything

Which wasn’t audible is going

    To be touched and seen

    And heard, repetitiously,

      Because You Cannot,

       (((((mute an echo))))
