Shards of time
Captured from wide and far
around, now pinned up
to prevent them from disappearing:
trophies from the past
stone signs on stakes
saved as a description
of the daily history
that nobody remembers
shards of time
from the ground on which we live
the hereafter of our ancestors'
blood, their sweat and tears
a living foundation
for our prosperity and the rest
the impotence and the gentle love
of caring, is too flaccid
and too volatile, in our souls
just a knowing
