Sun
the sun will saunter forth
will shine one day
that urgent radiance
that wingless phoenix
who washed away the fear
from the dark body of the bars
will shine one day
we’ll read stories that day
in the muted eyes of humans
stories that cannot be written with pens
words that cannot be said with words
pains that cannot be
shouted with shouts.
