Having walked the tight-lipped
Jersey streets,
A house to every inward-turning
love,
Peaceful, neat, above all else
secure,
Pausing, I am ravished by their
beauty.
Years will tell the stories of these
streets;
Each house, the joy of its secluded
love,
As children come and go, indulged,
secure,
Singed or not by life's most awesome
beauty.
There is no quarter on these death-strewn
streets,
Each house the scene of terror, pain, and
love,
Redeemed alone by the passion of its
beauty.
