Candles windblown…
… one to one
each one a-flame, fingers
coated in wax
our not so silent vigil
tear gas wraps the little crowd
gathered
where he lies black
jackets, masks
helmets, trudgeons
a continent away
we see what they have done –
our brother – Scott Olsen -- carried off
across 15th Street
clouds of rain sweep the towers
the lights we carry
flicker & blow out
