They killed a swan in Hampstead.
I couldn't write its tribute,
even in this quiet, sacred space.
The alphabetical assassins came in, 
killing silence. They must be working
on "S." 

[Something silent gets louder every day.]
[Sometimes silence can drown out noise.]

They killed a swan in Hampstead
and if it's as orderly as I'm afraid
There will be a sea of dead turtles
before they come for Us.
