Stone remembers what flesh forgets

Breath fossilized in mortar and bone

A thousand mouths sealed mid-prayer

Still humming the weight of their names

They were not buried

They were installed

Set into the walls like verses

In a scripture that never ends

Hear them sing without sound

A choir drowned in limestone lungs

Every face a frozen vow

Every vow a broken tongue

They do not beg

They do not accuse

They resonate

Through your soul
