They are gathering with candles
all over the country tonight
in vigil for the young man killed
in the prison we call
a Detention Centre.
This one was murdered, others
have killed themselves —
Asylum Seekers
who find no asylum here
except the lunatic kind.
In this little town, there's no
mass gathering, but I post
a virtual candle for Reza,
killed in my name
but not with my consent.
It's midnight.
I've come to this vigil late.
Still I add my protest.
The night
