Gazing into the bone on a trembling finger
Entranced by the cruel eyes of a swastika
Under the silhouette of a lingering figure
Struggling in the committed memory of laughter
As lost love sits on a burning pasture

A dejected face wearing tattered hands
Unlocks the window of past lands
Scrambling upon the puffing cadaver vessels
Torn hands clutching swaying trestles
Absconding graves of raped and rumbled structures
And smoldering fields of brutal ruptures

Tears of retaliation silent through the breeze
As the immense dance of freedom by vivid means
Is congested in the odium freeze
The sound of footsteps pounding in the head
As clocks are born through the eclipse of the dead

May the immense dance of freedom  find a breakthrough and spread ... so that all the pain may come to an end.
Very impressive words.
Love, Margherita
