Peter Magliocco

In sleep your disarray of hair
Patterns like seaweed in nocturnal mode
Old waterways across the country you led,
& your face in quiet repose gleams
Under moonlight the sky casts down.
What is drawn to fire in fields
Now bristles at your visions
Only unworldly dreamers harvest.
Lilting songs parade over villages
Of the silent martyrs you joined
Singing the national anthem.
Who’ll lead the still living citizenry
In pursuit of justice now remains
A mystery poised, perhaps, on your lips
Dawn will patiently seal
Under its wilting flower.
