Between


Between the idea

And the reality

Between the motion

And the act

Falls the shadow T.S Elliot


Between

every coming

every going

every night

and every morning

come the bombs

fall the bodies

in between

no time for whimpers

only BANG

and falls the shadow

and another and another

till the darkness is too dark

even for shadows.

 
(October 8, 2004 Following the suicide bombing at the Taba Hilton)
