Anatomy of Silence
✽
In the city of
lashed tongues
gashed throats
bleeding ears
LED screens and projectors
wired to sound amplifiers
blare the Minister of Stolen Time’s
Independence Day speech
across empty streets
lashed tongues
gashed throats
bleeding ears
also known as a tourist paradise
In the dispossessed land,
it is the usual scenery:
soldiers guarding empty streets
a labyrinth
of checkpoints
razor wires
steel barricades
perpetually shifting
In the dispossessed land,
it is the usual scenery:
vertigo
