Vapor

adapted  from China Takes Hard Line on Activists, Many Missing

100
Vanished, as smoke in heat
Or breath in winter
Dissipating
Flesh and bone to vapor

Silence, the only safety
Yet they held truth on their tongues
Spoke
As if tens of sparrows were rushing from their mouths
Choking later on claw and feather
