“A witness to violence is a victim of violence.” Alice Miller
Ad nauseam and infinitum
till you thought you would scream.
The buildings fall down as in
a Blitzkrieg or game
where children topple
tall toys of the other.
Once was enough to hear
of it, needless the drumming,
the numbing, awaking them all-
the loved ones already buried.
David’s work was included in Midnight mind Number Three and Midnight Mind Number Four.
