you don't have to hear us
i never forget
to put my name on my papers
because some day
someone will see
what i got right
and what i got wrong
and they will know
a little bit
of me
with the chairs covered in moss
and the desks still lined up in rows
and the walls now long crumbled
all you will hear is the absence of our voices
all you will hear is our silence
but you don't have to hear us
to know who we are.
