A Doubtful Name

It hurts at night.
But we're still fighting.
By name
Hesitant
In the list

Not a list of attendees
absence
All school hours
We sing.
As mentioned

While there are tables and chairs
singly
I answered.
With gestures.

It hurts at night.
But we are still sewing.

Small letter
A burning birthplace
Seeds of a calendar without teeth

We sit silently.
I'm not arrogant.
What else faints?
