    Landa Wo

    Side by side

    Their Lips Move

    Their Lips Move

    Their Lips Move

    Their lips move softly
    To let escape a choked complaint
    Their lips move gently
    To unpick the seams of the wire tyranny
    The dying cactus thinks about the Atlas oasis
    Freedom of speech dances on the plain, on fire
