Nette Onclaud Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

Night of Stone--Four Lines

For thirteen moons I holler in angst relentlessly
Under coal stars, these hands pray over August's ceasefire;

Till a young man's dull frame quakes on bloodied tracks...
O my son laying with ghosts of heroes, my night of stone.
