Better you left it at that
no-one but you and three
disaffected attending the
lecture remembered
They were words best
sentenced to ache in their
arcane cradle; a rooster’s
morning call, symbols of dissent
Telling a rosary wont
change a thing – its
string connects with dead
that the beads forget

I like this short piece. It's effective in making me think about a backstory...or maybe the story is mine.
