Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCVII: "prayers in the smoky air"
her prayers
hanging in the smoky air ...
a bent woman
holds the Gazan night sky
on her bony shoulders
Added: Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCVIII: "if only just a nightmare"
Gazan night sky
a ghastly shade of red ...
a white-haired man
murmurs, if only this were
just a nightmare
Added: Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCIX: " blood-stained bird cage"
smoky ruins ...
a blood-stained bird cage
with the door open
Added: Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCX: "a headless doll"
smoky skies
between two skeletal houses
a headless doll
