L'aura del Campo

Psalm of 2021 [231]

Psalm of 2121

By the rivers of Babylon we wept,
our tears falling into the brackish
backwaters of the dying delta,
our bonfires fast becoming the sea.
There by the poplars we hung our heads;
in our shame there was no song of joy,
for we had forgotten the melody
as we had forgotten who once we were.
