Trans: Substantiation

Do mind the gap
A gap of mind
A chasmic split
Abode in mine.

 

Between the whole
A hole, between
The one untold
And told as seen.

 

A body broke
By building blocks,
Unblocked by those
Who hurling rocks--

 

Through houses glass,
Concealed by sheets--
Revealed the sealed,
And broke the meek.

 

Removing masks,
Declared me bare.
Their bald-faced lie:
Unworthy heir

 

Of human ties.
Proclaimed me thus,
For fear that I
Their power'd crush.

 

But vulnerable
Though I may be,
Tis venerable
Humanity.

 

My weakness is
My strength reforged;
My chasm crossed,
My home, my home
Restored.

This poem is about: 
Me
My community
