Movement


it is as if the laws have spoken
it is as if your shoulders are blue
and 10 great elephants from 10 great sides
they’re sober but they’re stern
they trumpet their names out
names are crucial
names are the clincher
but you have no name
in crowds, there are only faces
in processions, there are faces
and there are bodies
but this is neither
this is the hour of the mirrors
in a world where teachers
who teach love are hated the most


You, who have no name
You, who move
through war & famine
through afflictions so bizarre that even prophets give up
remember, that, though speechless now,
one day, you must speak
to the stars, to all universe;
one day, hills shall tumble.
remember the waters.   
remember time.
