Lost people
dazed eyes peering blindly on a rubble
of stones documenting civilized world
as it ended
All in a heap of stones and burned stumps
Lost people
forgetting the word
Survival
for they are that
Suspended from their thoughts
another word more timely more natural
Recosntruction
Builders after a fashion
And only after succeeding time
has frozen disbelief
forever etched
Treachery forever etched
In lost people's eyes
--andoy, 21 September 1987
