on this day in history: 2011
(nothing happened)
there are fire
works outside a window,
iced canals of spurting
flame and life you
pushed into my lungs and
nothing happened, nothing
upon breaths of empty
pure and frigid winter
air,
masks and gloves did
nothing much.
the air lit up in other flame,
a backdrop mist of tear
gas, smoke from curling
bodies, burning homes
and nothing happened.
