from libraries book shops private collections all burn burn burn
in 1821 a German poet Heinrich Heine made a chilling prediction

time seeds us
time births us
time grows us
...

words syringes my needles
I shot myself up full of lines
thousands thousands of times

poems in a coffin
...

in winter skies in clear sky
Southern Alps mountains
...

lent their pens spent their time
in their effort to defuse terror
to nullify terrorist power

no million dollar mansions
but some religious leaders do?
