Wherever
they come from
I know their faces:
the bloodless, young
woman holding the hand
of a cloud-headed
child,
a man completely
on fire with lion claws
and his wife's wings
folded and charred,
a girl whose heart
is a mouth that speaks
a foreign language.
In a room of dark
strangers: slowly move
into the light then
name them.
