marbled utopia



they lied about
the chalk lines,
there were no
bodies in the streets

  the knives were dry,
  the bullets released
  had nowhere to go

the empty hands
that were reaching out
were filled with hands
that were pulling in

  and except for the tiny
  fires of prayer candles
  that marbled this
  strange utopia

  no one set a flame
  so nothing burned down
