One Two

Rows

Of flailing light

Rip open eyes

Long closed

Crack,

The clamor of

The cranes above

She grows

Tall

And tenuous,

She rouses us

Below

One two

One two

Sore

And lazy-eyed

I wonder if

She knows

Of all

The victimized

Who don’t know where

They’ll go

One two

One two

One two

One two

When

She falls asleep

I wait for her

Reprise

And then

They drill her walls

Awake to remember me
