no signs remain to capture
language remains
lie in its shattered
bulbs discovered made to melt
& even strokes
bent & broke to bleed
those beloved cheeks
speakers
not especially skilled
but born bent around best nouns
& adjectives their only marks
tiny pigment angel kisses
their verbs
& someone fought
to tear their wings & down
lights & signs
(no way to say \this was me\
this /k/new language
has no author \it\y
