Our Rage Pressed Cheek to Cheek

"The say that other country over there, dim blue in the twilight, farther than the orange stars exploding over our roofs, is called peace, but who can find the way?

This time we cannot cross until we carry each other. All of us refugees, all of us prophets. No more taking turns on history's wheel, trying to collect old debts no one can repay. The sea will not open that way.

This time that country is what we promise each other, our rage pressed cheek to cheek until tears flood the place between, until there are no enemies left, because this time no one will be left to drown and all of us must be chosen.

This time its all of us or none."
