there are no words left
we used them all up too soon —
not knowing worse was to come.
I should have hoarded some
for this next catastrophe.
shall I say je suis Bruxelles —
say we are all victims now,
innocent casualties and
suicide bombers both?
say: yesterday I
walked by the old port & saw
still-silver dead fish
dumped on clear seabed
dulled blank eyes questioning why?
