When a body burns away,
it leaves ashes and grief and
memories for those who remain.
When money burns away,
it leaves dread and suicides
and the collapse of nations.
When freedom burns away,
it leaves a silent labyrinth
of walls that keep us divided.

Acorns offer coal
Ovations for Ohio
From whose cinnamon
Autumn I hone my exile,
Opal and anonymous.
