   The Unlit Core
Our substance is made
Of what we rarely say.
In the humdrum of daylight
We avoid the core.

At the silent centre
Our beliefs are lurking
Fixed, difficult to dislodge.
Here one finds an answer
To what guides our actions.

But the unlit core offers
No relief from intransigence,
The weight of the implacable stance,
The strain of sharing different
Views of the same history.
