There are
(it is known)
36 righteous people among us,
(who must remain unknown)
whose kindness
whose patience
whose virtue
(that must remain unknown)
is all that holds up the sky.

Were they known,
(they must remain unknown)
we might ask them,
on seeing cities in pieces,
on seeing schools in pieces,
on seeing hospitals in pieces,
on seeing families in pieces,
(who must remain unknown)
on seeing children in pieces,
(who must remain unknown)
on seeing a people in pieces,
(that must remain unknown)
in their kindness,
in their patience,
in their virtue,
what questions weighed heaviest in their witness.

There are,
it is known,
36 righteous people among us,
who must remain unknown,
and the sky that stubbornly stays up,
and the questions that hang in the air beneath it.
