Devil's Advocate
The North Star (unsanitized)
Flying paper, a remembered ticker tape parade.
Exploding fireball. Surreal. Unreal. A movie reel.
Get out. Go north. Away. (They said to stay!)
I left, thirsty, trying to communicate. No connection.
It was no accident.
Locked down, get out of town, nowhere to go. Wait.
Nothing will be the same again. Wandering souls,
We are trying to get home. Ghosts of dust and ashes,
We breathe your life and remember. It hurts.
Burning, our fear, our dreams, assimilated.
We become you, we are all martyrs, ascending the
Ladders of life, searching for a path home.
Peace be with you, our brothers and sisters.
We shall find the light of the stars together, as we are one.
We are no longer innocent, yet we enter the world again with new wonder.
Peace in turmoil.
Serenity in chaos.
Blessed and cursed with freedom and love.
The kindness of strangers
