Watched a silence
sweep the
city watched it
swell a narrow
street heard ten
thousand
make the
silence with their
hesitating
feet never heard
a louder silence let it
ring
from wall to
wall: let no
boy
fall.
At some new
forsaken
barricade Plei
Mi or on
Chu
Pong a boy of any
color sleeps too
long he sleeps too long.
