Unsubstantiated
each day of silence
creates impatience
people want to know
families loved ones
want to know
reporters want to know
completion impossible
until we know
yet even when we know
the details are shocking
speculation remains unsubstantiated
though the layers of facts
builds up
for two to three to eight
fragments found buried deep
in planters
under the noses
of even the lookers
of even the ignorers
each day of silence
is remembered with longing
the silence of unknowing
offered a solace
that the noise of facts
can never provide
