If you are drawn and quartered and dragged behindnThe wagons of our time.nnYou are a lightening bolt. You are a wonder.nYou are a warning shot before all the others.nWithstanding the pressure of words.nWaving a white flag in a forest of birch.nnIf you are worn down by being in public.nRemember you are beautiful even in judgement.nnYou are a lightening bolt. You are a wonder.nYou are a whale under the water.nListening for the songs of the invisible others.nJoining in their wordless thunder.nnAnd after our mad dash for freedomnThey can hang our bones in a museum.nSuspended in the light. Suspended in the air.nSuspended in the light. Suspended in the air.nSuspended in the light. Suspended in the air.nHanging above all of our cares.nnYou are a lightning bolt. You are a wonder.nYou are a whale out of the water.
