Abandoned City
Who lived in this street?
Who died in this street?
Who wept in this street?
Who screamed in this street
about God,
about war,
about love?
Who built this temple?
Who tore it down?
Who spit on this grave?
Who rose again
on the sixteenth day
as the sun
burned, burned, burned
with its song of the ages?
