They smell your breath
Lest you have said: I love you,
They smell your heart:
These are strange times, my dear.

From the poem Strange Times, My Dear, in the PEN Anthology of Contemporary Literature

If liberty sang a song, little,
as the larynx of a bird,
nowhere would there remain a tumbling wall.
