Fragments 2002

Zoe Lay

Silence

The city stills
the great heart
fills with global grief

tears artesian

towering terror tantrum
destroying a siblings favoured toy

Shamed now the Mighty God
Deemed impotent by tiny minds
to ordain his own world

a paradise now rubbled

this an act so wrongly wrong
it never could be right

an evil midnight
in cruel day's light

Silence

cosmopolitan we stand
broadshouldering the worlds shame

But behind the awesome grief
the pain
the silence

a threnody of hope

the undersong
