Protest, Defiance, or Maybe a Prayer
“I have died, but you are still among the living”
-Boris Pasternak, “Wind”
A dancing man is silhouetted there
Against the light of a burning liquor store
Waving an upside down flag against the light
And a bottle – perhaps against the night
A marching man is silhouetted there
Against the flames of discount anesthetics
Cheap smokes and tokes and lottery-ticket lies
Skin magazines - but from the street wild cries
A desperate man is silhouetted there
Protest, defiance, or maybe – a prayer
