November at the Wall

A scene-led poem about German Reunification.

Hammers rang against concrete beneath November lights. Strangers passed flowers through a widening breach. A family crossed a street that had divided decades. Maps changed faster than memory could follow. Unity arrived with joy, invoices, questions, and scars. The wall fell once; its shadows required longer.
