here
piled deep ashes
hold secrets only the brave
dare to explore; look among
the ruins for lives remnants
and just maybe one or two
stories will be disclosed

here
the price for escaping
is always paid. Lives perish
in this wretched place as
engulfed dreams lie buried
beneath weight of existence

Lisa, these are my favorite lines, but I love the entire piece

May it work scholarly and then bear echoes of recovery. Thank you Lisa.
