They hang like towels. Towels hung out to dry in the wind line upon line of them blowing in the wind, prayer flags sending thoughts sending blessings wind dried leftovers from days gone by when laundry was line-dried and peace and goodwill were sent as thoughts and prayers on the wind not in the ether. But in the end it was never enough. In the end it made no difference how. In the end they’re still hung out to dry.
