Deaths In Lonely Places

The struggle through answers
toward questions --
after the death of hope what is left?
To silence, only tears;
too perfect uniform suits
somehow
free of stains.
Where are the heroes now when
all real men are gone,
dead screaming defiance every one?
We have nothing to expiate,
we say, declaim; but the need
haunts us even so.
