”I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Watching the white ash float and cover stealing footprints and filling potholes tiger traps for passing tires Rishika lay eyes up reinacting a play; shes now an angel flapping her wings basking in the brief glint of star (I say) “where’s your halo girl?” the play stops mid-flight as she tosses her grin at my feet (she say) “I lost it long ago, but I got this dime sack and a fifth of Jack… goin’ find heaven tonight.”
