Nothing Is Lost

Shannon Quinn

This is for the inhabitants of unmapped prisons

for exiles of a country that never existed

for the bled

for the beggared

for thin ankles that totter in stilettos

for those that flicker in this world

never fully lit, always only almost

and especially for those who tried to know and love them.

Shannon Quinn
