Poetry The following poem appears at the start of the novel.   Drawn Threads Sorry cannot undo the stitches of the past, however strong the will.   Long hands stretch back and forth across six million years of weaving evolution.   Still eyes beyond green fronds catch in the tapestry of frozen watchfulness. Shawls of cartridge cases swaddle the soul and sear tight scars across the heart.   Why do we forget it is wrong to steal another life? Christine Rose
