Scene I
An event of immense importance
The thought “I will be judged harshly.”
Dams, words unsaid
A sparkling fire-sliver, particle of Trust,
Between Judge and not proven Criminal,
Evaporates, steady in stealth.
Scene II
They watch from the fringe
Breathing in Pride
“Let them tell me.”
Inside the fringe
Breathing out Boundary
“Let them ask me.”
Care unfound.
Chip by chip, brick by brick
In Silence, Ruins lie.
