and blame the victim

Protection of child above institutional church is right

Very violent among the pillars

Quiet here along the street
ensnared in the silence
dream-like graves below the dark
unbecoming and brilliant

The seduced bright delusions awoke

But the end felt good, they tell us
Very violent among the pillars
then entombed
missing
hidden
locked-away
in the long night

Then flickering awake
a long, long way from home

The Ragged Wagon

Rising Remembered
