Posters and signs encouraged. No bullhorns. This is a peaceful vigil in memory of the victims.

Along the cliffs they stand
in silence:
watchers,
greeters,
sentries.

The words still hang unspoken,
yet as silent they remain,
they form anew, regrouping to
press again for enunciation.
He feels, he knows he ought to speak;
he knows, he feels, he does not dare.
Haunting, tempting, the words arise
until he forces his thoughts elsewhere.

Faced with horror
beyond my reckoning,
yet possible within
the imagination and execution
of others, I stand
silent.
Easy words and quick answers
do not pass my lips;
no facile explanations offered;
yet never do I turn
away.
With battered heart and tear-filled eyes,
with bruised soul and deep sighs,
I watch and listen
as I grieve and ache – I bear
witness.

Days silently pass:
no words said.
He wonders if
speaking’s practice,
now diminished,
will some day
disappear.
