As he<br>slid out of his comrade's hold<br>toward the gray cement of the Ramblas<br>he lost count and knew only<br>that he would not die and that the blue sky<br>smudged with clouds was not heaven<br>for heaven was nowhere and in his eyes<br>slowly filling with their own light.<br>The pigeons that spotted the cold floor<br>of Barcelona rose as he sank below<br>the waves of silence crashing<br>on the far shores of his legs, growing<br>faint and watery. His hands opened<br>a last time to receive the benedictions<br>of automobile exhaust and rain<br>and the rain of soot. His mouth,<br>that would never again say &quot;I am afraid,&quot;<br>closed on nothing. The old grandfather<br>hawking daisies at his stand pressed<br>a handkerchief against his lips<br>and turned his eyes away before they held<br>the eyes of a gunman. The shepherd dogs<br>on sale howled in their cages<br>and turned in circles. There is more<br>to be said, but by someone who has suffered<br>and died for his sister the earth<br>and his brothers the beasts and the trees.<br>The Lieutenant can hear it, the prayer<br>that comes on the voices of water, today<br>or yesterday, form Chicago or Valladolid,<br>and hands like smoke above this street<br>he won't walk as a man ever again.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Philip+Levine">Philip Levine</a><div class=q>
