Breathwing (For Sophie Scholl) Poem by Leslie Philibert

Breathwing (For Sophie Scholl)



so as they took you down the concrete
corridor as if you were going to be
married you must have been scared and
full of rain stadelheim is too hard
for a young girl girl full of men with
dull eyes and the corridor too long
and too short and cold with corners
but for all this when my knees are
warmed with earth on a summer`s day
you are the wings over munich for now
and ever and full of light and grace.
