Poems
Dec 2010
Seventeen
No one notices the sky's perpetual gray, until you are
covered in ash and gunpowder.
Light is not welcome here, and yet the flames of
burning cities blaze a welcoming path.
Shallow graves and even
shallower hearts. . . .
You were only seventeen
when your role in this battle began.
