I had a vision of Appenza floating
like a cloud over the blood-dark sea
The thrantas crying for their missing nests
And green valley Alderaan, for a moment, was red
Every candlewick in sudden bloomNow Istabith can only be seen when my tears fall
And Aldera only in my dreamsThere is no blessing worth this sacrifice
No sanctification for this violence
that turned our children into ash
and our home into a memory
