KURT AND JOHN
Did time stop
at their death?
Or only just begin?
With a wave of tears
comes one of inspiration.
Unspeakable spills of scarlet
across floors and pavement
and time.
Defining their eras?
Or simply scarring them?
A gash in generations
too deep for forgetting,
too wide for disappearing.
A moment of history
doomed to repeat;
our lessons and duty
never fulfilled.
Kurt and John:
now and then,
there and here,
once and forever.
