Silent March
Shawn Gray

A million candles
lighting the moonless dark
as a fiery column
burned through the streets,
flowing like water,
silently rushing past rock,
or bike, or brick, or curious eyes.
United under a curtain of flame,
they pool about Parliament,
silent voices raised
in a cacophony of mourning
for an empty shell they didn't know.
