For Pedro Poem by RIC BASTASA

For Pedro



it has
already been
forgotten

17 years
is too long

all the
marks of
the sands
have already
been
erased by
the sea
and wind

you think
that every
pebble is now
in its place
and that
the shore is
now ready
for a new
beginning

indeed it is
so
but who can forget
the salt
in the water

if forgiven
let it be so
but the broken
shells
remain to be so

their songs remain
sad
but no longer
vengeful
