FOR CHILDREN IN WHOSE PUPILS CHRIST RESIDES...
FOR CHILDREN IN WHOSE PUPILS CHRIST RESIDES...
Cracked eyes
flow through the streets.
Through them, the nets of sorrow
scream infamously
like echoes of stranded boats.
Windowpanes grazed
by the breath of presence.
Past gossip
wants to hide in silences.
The echo of lamentation and mourning
chokes in the hallways
made of loneliness.
Lips
covered with dried-up prayers
seek their Christ.
Sometimes I set out to find God.
I wonder if He still exists.
Every day, one is crucified
in children's pupils.
We kill Him.
Abandoned by God,
we live through our darkness.
(D. R.)
