WE SHALL join them all now
in one altar of sacrifice.

kahlil, ernest, maya,
they had it all: understood their joys and sorrow,
never kept a record of their pains,
never owned anything even their children are not theirs

they arrive naked and naked shall they go

if we take their voices
as our own

so shall we be,
same dusts in that altar of sacrifice.
