I saw you running in a photograph
Fear struck. You were screaming. You were naked
Are you still screaming? Do you ever laugh?
Flames chased you down the road. Did you make it
To safety, to family? Or did you
Stumble? And char. Face down undignified.
Why did you deserve this? What did you do?
Nothing. You are not guilty. I have cried
Staring into your eyes knowing you're not one,
Knowing you're many. From everywhere
