Yet
another agent
another commander  
with promises to find
that detail
missed
by every investigation team
so far
the   main suspect
is still free to do
as he pleases
your death  
yet
another  memory
in his  life’s story
that’s 23 years longer
than yours
My husband of nearly 20 years was murdered in July 2002 at his work on an Air Force Base. Year 23 arrives this summer. Multiple investigative teams have worked on his case. Not enough  proof to  prosecute  the man whose name I can't know ( for fear of retribution) . Closure is a crap word  and does not exist   in the way people think. I have forged a new life  on the ashes of my old one . Yet, I want justice.Who wouldn't ?

— The End —
